Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool - use a lart to adjust lusers' attitudes

## NAME

lart - Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool - use a lart to adjust lusers' attitudes

## SYNOPSIS

**lart** \[ **-use** *tool* \] \[ **-bBfFgklp** \] *\<lusername\>*\

## DESCRIPTION

**lart** adjusts the attitudes of those pesky, clueless people who rely upon their admins for everything from picking their mice off of the floor to turning on their monitors; namely, the [luser(8)](/luser/8.md).  Running **lart** with the appropriate arguments will cause the specified luser to run away screaming in agony.  Alternatively, you can make the luser buy you a beer, after killing all of their processes.

## OPTIONS

- **-use** *tool*

  Choose your weapon.  If this option is not specified, the enviroment variable LART is used.  If neither is set, a default value will be used, which is set at compile time

- **-b**

  Used to increase the size of your lart

- **-B**

  The BOFH option.  Removes a users files and kills all their processes. If used in conjunction with **-p** this will also cause syslog to make entries proving that *\<lusername\>* was the second gunman behind the grassy knoll

- **-f**

  Only fake luser's attitude readjustment session.  Provided primarily for testing purposes.  Mutually exclusive with **-B**

- **-F**

  **fsck** *\<lusername\>*\
    as a raw device.  Note that this option has not been tested, as it is rather difficult to find volunteers

- **-g**

  Graphic violence.  Uses **curses** to monitor *\<lusername\>* during the beating.

- **-k**

  Kill.  A rather permanent option, and as such is not highly recommended.  Can only be invoked once per *\<lusername\>*

- **-p**

  See **-B**
