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...)
