LUSER(8) System Manager's Manual LUSER(8) NAME luser - process to control the clueless induhviduals who (mis)use com- puter 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 speci- fied <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 con- trition to the sysadmin for past sins. The <level> 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 bev- erage. 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 fa- tal. HISTORY Written by Eric L. Pederson <eric@bofh.org.uk>. 25 September 1995 LUSER(8)
