user(s) given on the command line. When called without arguments it
displays short help.

done, that is processes are first sent TERM signal and after 10 seconds
those that haven’t terminated yet are killed with KILL
OPTIONS
There are no options.
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 priviledges 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.
BUGS
Unknown. If there are any report them to author and/or package
maintainer.
