Rosemary, sorry I jumped into this thread kind of late, but below is
the script I run for my sig:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Chris"
echo "Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org";
STR=$(uptime)
TIME=${STR% user}
RESULT=${TIME%}
echo $RESULT
echo "Mandriva Linux 10.1 Official, kernel $(uname -r)"
echo
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
/usr/games/fortune -e
echo
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
if [ -p /tmp/xmms-info ] ; then echo "Live - Classic Rock - From
Virgin Radio UK $( grep Title: /tmp/xmms-info | awk -F': ' '{print
$2}' )"
fi
The fortune files are stored in /usr/share/games/fortunes. The -e in
my script means "quoted from man fortune:
The -e option says to consider all files equal; thus
fortune -e funny not-funny
is equivalent to
fortune 50% funny 50% not-funny
HTH
Righto - in an attempt to combine the two sets of instructions I did this:
My script
#!/bin/bash
echo "Rosemary"
echo "Registered Linux User #386597 http://counter.li.org";
echo
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/games/fortune -e
echo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Then did this: into a new file called kronus, as per Joesnildo
*/2 * * * * /home/rosemary/sig > /home/rosemary/fortsig
after making an empty file which I called fortsig.
I also did "crontab kronus"
However it doesn't work. I am assuming I am missing something out.
Thanks in advance
