# luck(1)

GROMACS installation test program

## NAME

luck - GROMACS installation test program

## SYNOPSIS

**luck**

## DESCRIPTION

**luck** writes a randomly selected quote to *stdout*.  Normally this serves to test a freshly-compiled GROMACS installation; it also helps to maintain that air of cultural sophistication and wide-ranging appeal that characterizes any molecular dynamics package worth its force fields.

## OPTIONS

**luck** takes no options.  It may vary its output depending on whether the user is cool or not.

## SEE ALSO

**fortune**(1), [**gromacs**(7)](/gromacs/7.md)

## AUTHOR

Sadly, the current GROMACS distribution lacks official documentation for this command.

This manual page was written by Nicholas Breen \<nbreen@ofb.net\>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
