DESCRIPTION

13       This manual page documents briefly the hot-babe command.  hot-babe is a
14       small  graphical  utility  which displays the system activity in a very
15       special way. When the CPU is idle, it displays a dressed girl, and when
16       the  activity goes up, as the temperature increases, the girl begins to
17       undress, to finish totally naked when the system activity reaches 100%.
18       Of course, if you can be shocked by nudity, don't use it!

OPTIONS

21       As for now, hot-babe supports a few command-line options:
22
23       -h, --help
24              display a small help message and exit.
25
26       -t, --threshold n
27              ensure  that  only  the  first picture (totally dressed girl) as
28              long as the system activity is below n%.
29
30       -d, --delay
31              n update the display every n milliseconds.
32
33       -i, --incremental
34              ponder every sample with time, the result is a somewhat smoother
35              animation, and the cpu has to be 100% for a long time before the
36              girl will be totally naked, and the cpu has to be at  0%  for  a
37              long time for the girl to dress totally.
38
39       -N, --noNice
40              Don't  consider  reniced  processes.  This is usefull if you use
41              seti@home or distributed.net, which always eat  almost  all  the
42              CPU.
43
44       -n, --nice
45              n Put the hot-babe process in nice n.
46
47       --dir  Directory  give  the directory where hot-babe must load the pic‐
48              tures.
49
50       --geometry
51              Use  the  specified  geometry  (only   position   is   supported
52              {+|-}x{+|x}y).
53
54       -v, --version
55              Show version and exit.
56
57
58       FILES
59
60       share/hot-babe/ ./hot-babe/
61              Default  directory of hot-babes pictures. It can be either abso‐
62              lute path, relative, relative to  share/hot-babe/  directory  or
63              relative  to ~/.hot-babe/ directory. It contains the themes that
64              can be used.
65
66       Note: Each pictures subdirectory must  contain  a  file  named  "descr"
67       which gives some info to the hot-babe process. The first line gives the
68       number of pictures to use, and then the name of the pictures,  one  per
69       line.
