Grasshopper: $ export foo=$fortune} # puts a 'fortune' into a variable foo. in case we want it later echo $foo >fortune_file What he meant is that you should take output of 'fortune' and paste it info a file whose name doesn't change (a "static" text file). Each time you send a mail, the agent will refer to this file, and every time you run the script, you replace the old contents of this fortune file with a new fortune. You probably don't need to actually use a shell variable -- that was only an illustrative point wherein it is shown that it's *possible* to store the output of a program into a variable. Good luck trying that in DOS. :) > > rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
