Spams a Linux system with fortune-telling cows
The command xcowfortune
must exist for this program to work.
Recommended means of operation:
- SSH to the target computer
- Start a
screen
ortmux
session - Run the script, changing the targeted DISPLAY in the source if necessary
- Log out and wait to be called about the cows
- ???
- Profit!
Command line argument:
Run the script with no arguments to display a new cow every 5 seconds.
Run the script with an integer n
as an argument to display a new cow every n
seconds.
Note that the cows linger for a few seconds, so if you run the command with a low delay the entire screen will be filled with unhelpful cows.
