HOT-BABE(1)HOT-BABE(1)NAMEhot-babe - is a small graphical utility which displays the system
activity in a very special way
SYNOPSIShot-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 pic‐
tures.
--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 abso‐
lute 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

lines and whatever after a # are ignored.
Here is an example:
#threshold 30
