PROGRAM:
NAME
party - set OS responses mode
SYNOPSIS
party ON|OFF|WHEREIS [ - ] dnv
DESCRIPTION
Operating systems being what they are, the admin people can easily grow tired of
command responses that resemble dyslexic eugene-speak filtered through Kernighan
and Ritchie's collective back-brains. To alleviate this, we have included a slightly
more `casual' mode, in which the responses to all commands are first filtered
through a customising routine (DUDE) , which makes them sound a little more friendly
while retaining their full information content (usually). The rooted(c) system
prompt is changed to `What now, dude?' and output from each command is terminated by
`No problem, dude.'
OPTIONS
-v Verbose mode (ALL commands have a `verbose' mode). When this option is
present, all filtered responses are preceeded by a message: `This response has
been parsed by the DUDE filter and is not intended to be some sort of sleazy come-
on.'
-d Don't restart all processes after recompiling the /uselss/libs/eugene file
(see below). This alows any important tasks to complete beforehand.
-n Notify all users that they are about to be force-logged out and force-logged
in again.
ON Activates the DUDE filter.
OFF De-activates the DUDE filter.
WHEREIS
Doesn't do anything, but we couldn't resist it.
EXAMPLES
%-) party on
What now, dude?
To compare the differing responses, here is output provided by the ispi -s command, with
party OFF and party ON:
