lart

lart(1M)																  lart(1M)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       lart [ -use tool ] [ -bBfFgklp ] <lusername>

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 <lusername> 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 <lusername>
		       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 <lusername> during the beating.

       -k	      Kill.  A rather permanent option, and as such is not highly recommended.	Can only be invoked once per <lusername>

       -p	      See -B
