Hi all
Use this shell script for random quotes (something I missed when switching
to Pine / Mutt from Pegasus Mail). See man fortune for more info. Enjoy.
I found this on http://tune.linux.com when searching for "random sig".
Here's the article (as printed by lynx)
1999.07.22 - Random signature file generator for Pine
Here's a quick little script that will generate a random signature file
using the fortune program and add it to your current .signature file. All
you have to do is change your signature in pine to use /tmp/sig.username
and you are in business.
#!/bin/sh
WHOAMI=`whoami`
if [ -f /tmp/sig.$USER ]
then
rm -f /tmp/sig.$USER
fi
cat $HOME/.signature > /tmp/sig.$USER
echo "-----" >> /tmp/sig.$USER
/usr/games/fortune -s >> /tmp/sig.$USER
/usr/bin/pine
If you use a default signature, it will include it at the bottom
seperated by a few dashes, then a short one line selection from
fortune. I called the file 'pinesig' and aliased 'pine' to use this
program instead.
