NAME

lart - Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool - use a lart to adjust lusers' attitudes

SYNOPSIS

lart [ -use tool ] [ -bBfFgklp ] &ltlusername>

DESCRIPTION

lart adjusts the attitudes of those pesky, clueless people who rely upon their admins for everything from picking their mice off of the floor to turning on their monitors; namely, the luser(8). Running lart with the appropriate arguments will cause the specified luser to run away screaming in agony. Alternatively, you can make the luser buy you a beer, after killing all of their processes.

OPTIONS

-use tool

Choose your weapon. If this option is not specified, the enviroment variable LART is used. If neither is set, a default value will be used, which is set at compile time.

-b

 Used to increase the size of your lart.

-B

 The BOFH option. Removes a users files and kills all their processes. If used in conjunction with -p this will also cause syslog to make entries proving that &ltlusername> was the second gunman behind the grassy knoll.

-f

 Only fake luser's attitude readjustment session. Provided primarily for testing purposes. Mutually exclusive with -B.

-F

 fsck &ltlusername> as a raw device. Note that this option has not been tested, as it is rather difficult to find volunteers.

-g

 Graphic violence. Uses curses to monitor &ltlusername> during the beating.

-k

 Kill. A rather permanent option, and as such is not highly recommended. Can only be invoked once per &ltlusername>

-p

 See -B
