Re: [newbie] Uptime in signature?

2002-03-21 Thread James A. Peltier

NOTE: I can't get this to work with Ximian Evolution.

my script looks like this

echo - James A. Peltier
echo - Site-FX Networking
echo - Web   : http://www.site-fx.net
echo - E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
echo
/usr/bin/uptime

when I compose a message it just shows the script and not the result.

  How do I get the signature to show the total uptime of the system as
  well as how many users there are? I would assume with the uptime
  command but do not know the syntax to use from reading the uptime man
  page.

 Here is a piece of a message I ripped from Tom to do mine with 
 Hylton...
 
 .
 
 Tom Said:
 You can create a text file and 'chmod -x' it to run any suitable
 executable, eg, /usr/bin/uptime.  I do this with kmail by making my
 sig
 executable and placing   /usr/games/fortune  in it as the last line.
 So
 while it probly varies with email clients, it should be easy to do.
 
   my sig:
 echo  Tom Brinkman _ South Texas, USA_
 echo
 /usr/games/fortune
 
 
 here is my complete executable file in /home/olly/sigprog 
 ...
#this is a ollymade sig file for e-mail
 echo Olly P. Biloxi  Mississippi     Linux MDK 8.0 and
  echo  2.4.3-20 mdk Kmail 2.1.1
 echo ATX Plll 600mhz Asus CUBX ...384m PC133ram
 echo
  /usr/games/fortune
 
  echo
  /usr/bin/uptime
 ...
 just put the path to this script in your kmail...
 here is the result ...neat huh?
 pay attention to (echo)
