lart(1)                   User Commands                   lart(1)

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 con-
                    junction 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 ses-
                    sion.   Provided  primarily  for testing pur-
                    poses.  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
