       processes  are  first  sent TERM signal and after 10 seconds those that haven't terminated

OPTIONS

       There are no options.

ENVIRONMENT

       SLAY_BUTTHEAD - setting SLAY_BUTTHEAD to on puts  slay  into  Butt-head  mode  (which  has
       different  messages  than  normal mode).  Setting it to off puts it into normal mode. This
       environment variable overrides the setting from /etc/slay_mode

FILES

       /etc/slay_mode - contains keywords  describing  the  mode  slay  works  in,  separated  by
       newlines:

       mean  turns mean mode on. In mean mode attempts to slay people without root privileges are
       punished. This is the default.

       nice turns mean mode off.

       butthead switched slay to Butt-head messages mode.

       normal switches slay to normal messages mode. This is the default.

       You can only use one of mean/nice keywords and one of butthead/normal keywords.
