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

LUSER(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  LUSER(8)

NAME

       luser  - process to control the clueless individuals who (mis)use computer systems, peripheral devices and system administrators. Word play
       on "loser" and "user".

SYNOPSIS

       luser [-d] [-g<level>] [-s] <lusername>

DESCRIPTION

       luser is the primary tool a system administrator uses to manage end-user requests. This powerful tool can actually cause the specified user
       to perform actions as specified by the flags.

       With no flags, luser deletes every running process owned by the specified <lusername>.

OPTIONS

       -d     Disk reclamation mode. Remove all files in the home directory of <lusername>.

       -g<level>
	      Grovel mode. Causes the specified luser to make an act of contrition to the sysadmin for past sins. The <level> indicates the sever-
	      ity of the contrition:

       LEVEL

       0      User makes a sincere apology and promises to never do it again.

       1      User buys sysadmin a large quantity of sysadmin's favorite beverage.

       2      User signs over ownership of his/her car to sysadmin.

       3      User resigns from the company after writing a long letter of apology detailing his/her failings.

       4      User commits ritual suicide by sucking on a power strip and grounding himself to a conduit.

NOTES

       Sysadmins are encouraged to use the -s option as a way to smarten up the world's user base. Use the -g option at level 4 outside  the  con-
       fines of the machine room. The more lusers that witness the act, the better.

SEE ALSO

       sysadmin(1)

BUGS

       Occasionally,  the  luser may survive the effects of luser -g4.	In that event, a second invocation of the command will usually prove to be
       fatal.
