Description

Slay  sends  given  signal  (KILL  by default) to all processes belonging to user(s) given on the command
       line.  When called without arguments it displays short help.

       You can use -clean as a signal name, in that case a "clean kill" is done, that  is  processes  are  first
       sent TERM signal and after 10 seconds those that haven't terminated yet are killed with KILL

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.
