NAME¶
slave - a semi-interactive interactive command for the dirty work
SYNOPSIS¶
slave [
command ]
slave -f
DESCRIPTION¶
The purpose of the
slave command is to do all those small things around
the computer that one never finds the time for.
One typical use for the
slave command is to change the toner in one's
laser printer. The interface for the
slave command is kept simple,
mainly to keep down the complexity of the internal parser.
THE OPTION¶
- -f
- Send a rapid succession of SIGHUPs to slave,
mainly used when one needs to blow off a little steam.
THE COMMANDS¶
Almost any phrase in pidgin English is acceptable input to the
slave
program, but care should be taken to keep grammatical structure on an easy
level, so not to confuse the poor program.
BUGS¶
This program violates many standards and ethics, most notably the UN's Human
Rights (as if they were extendable to programs...)
