SYNOPSIS

hot-babe [options]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

As for now, hot-babe supports a few command-line options:

-h, --help: display a small help message and exit.
-t, --threshold n: ensure that only the first picture (totally dressed girl) as long as the system activity is below n%.
-d, --delay: n update the display every n milliseconds.
-i, --incremental: ponder every sample with time, the result is a somewhat smoother animation, and the cpu has to be 100% for a long time before the girl will be totally naked, and the cpu has to be at 0% for a long time for the girl to dress totally.
-N, --noNice: Don't consider reniced processes. This is usefull if you use seti@home or distributed.net, which always eat almost all the CPU.
-n, --nice: n Put the hot-babe process in nice n.
--dir: Directory give the directory where hot-babe must load the pictures.
--geometry: Use the specified geometry (only position is supported {+|-}x{+|x}y).
-v, --version: Show version and exit.

FILES

share/hot-babe/ ./hot-babe/: Default directory of hot-babes pictures. It can be either absolute path, relative, relative to share/hot-babe/ directory or relative to ~/.hot-babe/ directory. It contains the themes that can be used.

Note: Each pictures subdirectory must contain a file named "descr" which gives some info to the hot-babe process. The first line gives the number of pictures to use, and then the name of the pictures, one per line.

Here is an example:

5
hb01_4.png
hb01_3.png
hb01_2.png
hb01_1.png
hb01_0.png

~/.hot-babe/config: User configuration file. Put any possible long option. Empty lines and whatever after a # are ignored.

Here is an example:

#threshold 30
incremental
#noNice
#nice 5
#delay 100
#dir hb01
#geometry +0-0
