NAME
|
||
dream - suspend execution for an interval while executing
|
||
random code in memory
|
||
|
||
SYNTAX
|
||
dream [-d][[-nrRsw] [time]]
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION
|
||
Dream suspends execution of the current proces for time
|
||
seconds, while simulating a dream sequence by executing random
|
||
segments of code in memory. All devices are paralyzed (blocked)
|
||
to prevent dangerous side-effects. The options are as follows:
|
||
|
||
-d daydream. code seems to be more related to the actual
|
||
suspended process, and suspension will be for a limited
|
||
amount of time. Attention can be restored by snapping
|
||
fingers next to keyboard.
|
||
|
||
-n nightmare. Repeated references to the system error logs
|
||
are made during execution.
|
||
|
||
-r recurring. The code of a previous execution will be
|
||
re-selected for this dream.
|
||
|
||
-R REM (Rapid Eye Movement). The current value of the PC is
|
||
is flashed on the screen for every instruction.
|
||
|
||
-s sleepwalking. Tape drives will be sent many alternating
|
||
fast-forward and rewind requests and/or line printers sent
|
||
many alternating carraige-return and tab codes to promote
|
||
movement of machine(s) across floor. Stopping these
|
||
devices may confuse the program.
|
||
|
||
-w wet dream. The code is selected from the sex(1l) program.
|
||
|
||
Dream will invoke automatically with the -d option when the
|
||
system proves extremely slow.
|
||
|
||
The relation of the randomly-executed code to the subconcious
|
||
(background tasks) of the current processes is suspected but has
|
||
not been proven.
|
||
|
||
WARNING
|
||
do not select the -w option without covering the keyboard.
|
||
