NAME

       slave - a semi-interactive interactive command for the dirty work

SYNOPSIS

       slave [ command ]
       slave -f

DESCRIPTION

       The purpose of the slave command is to do all those small things around the computer that one never finds
       the time for.

       One typical use for the slave command is to change the toner in one's laser printer.  The  interface  for
       the slave command is kept simple, mainly to keep down the complexity of the internal parser.

THE OPTION

       -f     Send  a  rapid  succession  of  SIGHUPs  to slave, mainly used when one needs to blow off a little
              steam.

THE COMMANDS

       Almost any phrase in pidgin English is acceptable input to the slave program, but care should be taken to
       keep grammatical structure on an easy level, so not to confuse the poor program.

BUGS

       This  program  violates  many  standards  and ethics, most notably the UN's Human Rights (as if they were
       extendable to programs...)
