.TH slave 1 "Release 0.01 alpha" .UC 4 .SH NAME slave \- a semi-interactive interactive command for the dirty work .SH SYNOPSIS .B slave [ \fIcommand\fP ] .br .B slave -f .SH DESCRIPTION The purpose of the \fIslave\fP command is to do all those small things around the computer that one never finds the time for. .LP One typical use for the \fIslave\fP command is to change the toner in one's laser printer. The interface for the \fIslave\fP command is kept simple, mainly to keep down the complexity of the internal parser. .SH THE OPTION .TP \-\fIf\fP Send a rapid succession of \fISIHUP\fPs to \fIslave\fP, mainly used when one needs to blow off a little steam. .SH THE COMMANDS Almost any phrase in pidgin English is acceptable input to the \fIslave\fP program, but care should be taken to keep grammatical structure on an easy level, so not to confuse the poor program. .SH BUGS This program violates many standards and ethics, most notably the UN's Human Rights (as if they were extendable to programs...) .SH AUTHOR This man page is written by Ingvar Mattsson, 1996, in an effort to extend the \fIalt.sysadmin.recovery\fP collection of man pages.
