<dt>NAME
<dd>luser - process to control the clueless induhviduals who
(mis)use computer systems, peripheral devices and system
administrators. Word play on "loser" and "user".
<P>
<dt>SYNOPSIS
<dd>luser [-d] [-g <<i>level</i>> ] [-s] <<i>lusername</i>>
<P>
<dt>DESCRIPTION
<dd>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.
<P>
With no flags, luser deletes every running process owned by
the specified <<i>lusername</i>>.
<P>
<dt>OPTIONS
<dd><dl>
<dt>-d
<dd>Disk reclamation mode. Remove all files in the home
directory of <<i>lusername</i>>.
<P>
<dt>-g <<i>level</i>>
<dd>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:
<P>
<table border=0 width="90%">
<tr><th>LEVEL
<tr valign=top><td align=center>0
<td>User makes a sincere apology and promises to never do it again.
<P>
<tr valign=top><td align=center>1
<td>User buys sysadmin a large quantity of sysadmin's favorite beverage.
<P>
<tr valign=top><td align=center>2
<td>User signs over ownership of his/her car to sysadmin.
<P>
<tr valign=top><td align=center>3
<td>User resigns from the company after writing a long
letter of apology detailing his/her failings.
<P>
<tr valign=top><td align=center>4
<td>User commits ritual suicide by sucking on a power strip
and grounding himself to a conduit.
</table>

<P>
<dt>NOTES
<dd>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.
<P>

<dd>sysadmin(1)
<p>
<dt>BUGS
<dd>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.
