Can I change how often the cursor changes?
Yes. By default, The Finger changes the cursor every 5 seconds. You can customize the interval by passing a number on the command line. For example, FINGER.EXE 30 sets a 30-second pause between cursor changes. A longer delay makes the prank more unpredictable and harder for the victim to figure out.
