LUSER(8) MAINTENANCE COMMANDS LUSER(8)
NAME
luser - process to control the clueless induhviduals 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 indicates
the severity 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 confines 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.
