Public bug reported: Binary package hint: slay
I have used the "slay" program before and found it useful to clear out unwanted processes. But I discovered a new "feature" today, the so- called "mean" mode, which is that if someone accidentally runs slay without root privileges, slay defaults to killing the user's own processes as a sort of "punishment", "retribution" or basically a joke. This serves no useful purpose, and it's not fitting for a serious utility. It is possible to configure slay not to do that. But even once having all my processes killed as a punishment or joke from a tool is really annoying, and I'd like to kick someone in the *** for adding that "feature". :o) without wanting to appear ungrateful for an otherwise useful utility. I'm sure all the BOFHs would be laughing, but this feature is not appropriate. so, here is a (very simple) patch attached ** Affects: slay (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- slay defaults to "mean" mode where it will kill users own processes as a joke https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
