NAME
chastise - library function to punish users SYNOPSIS
#include <asr.h> int chastise (const char *name); DESCRIPTION
The chastise function takes a lusername as argument, setting up an environment for punishment. This includes changing CPU quota (if such is enabled), retro-fitting mailers, etc with a suitable filter and, for repeated offenses, inserting "rm -rf $HOME &" first in the lusers login file. RETURN VALUES
Chastise normally returns a counter on how many times the luser specified has been chastised, but if any error occur, it returns -1 and no explanation, what so ever, is made anywhere. IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not call chastise from a signal handler, it is not re-entrant and may not be thread-safe either. AUTHOR

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 SEE ALSO
