HOT-BABE(1)

NAME
hot-babe - is a small graphical utility which displays the system activity in a very special way

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
