NAME
bsod - Blue Screen of Death emulator
SYNOPSIS
bsod [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color]
[-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install]
[-visual visual] [-delay seconds]
DESCRIPTION
The bsod program is the finest in personal computer emula-
tion.
bsod steps through a set of screens, each one a recreation
of a different failure mode of an operating system. Systems
depicted include Microsoft's Windows 95 and Windows NT,
Commodore-Amiga's AmigaDOS 1.3, SPARC Linux, SCO UNIX, the
Apple Macintosh (both the MacsBug debugger and the rarer
"Sad Mac"), and the Atari ST.
OPTIONS
bsod accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the
default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome
display.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the
name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or
hex) of a specific visual.
-delay delay
The delay between displaying one crash and another.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides
the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER
property.
X RESOURCES
Notable X resources supported include the following, which
control which hacks are displayed and which aren't.
doWindows, doNT, doAmiga, doMac, doMacsBug, doSCO, doAtari,
doBlitDamage, and doSparcLinux. Each of these is a Boolean
resource, they all default to true, except for doSparcLinux
and doAtari, which are turned off by default, because
they're really not all that interesting looking unless
you're a fan of those systems. There aren't command-line
options for these, so to change them, you'll need to add
entries to your .Xdefaults file, or use the -xrm option.
For example, to tell bsod not to show the NT crash:
bsod -xrm '*doNT: false'
BUGS
Unlike the systems that the images are borrowed from, bsod
does not require a reboot after running.
bsod should also emulate more systems, but systems with
interesting crash graphics are not as common as one might
hope.
One I'd really like to see is a Unix system getting a kernel
panic, rebooting, and running fsck(8).
