LUSER(8) System Manager's Manual 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 per- form 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 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 ground- ing 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. HISTORY Written by Eric L. Pederson <eric@bofh.org.uk>. 25 September 1995 LUSER(8)
