Thank you,
Yes, its called fortune and I believe its installed as part of a normal
install. You can call it from a script such as this:
#!/bin/bash
echo Chris
echo Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org;
STR=$(uptime)
TIME=${STR% user}
RESULT=${TIME%}
echo $RESULT
echo Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official, kernel $(uname -r)
echo
/usr/games/fortune
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
If using Kmail you can under Settings configure Kmail identies
signature then select Obtain signature text from Output of Command. For
instance mine is /home/chris/./sig. You can learn more about fortune from
man fortune

Thanks for the tip.
I was able to get it to work in thunderbird by making a script like you
suggested and calling it via cron to generate a signature like this
every 15 minutes.
First make sig-pubmail executable like so:
chmod 0755 sig-pubmail
Then edit your /etc/crontab file and add a lines like mine below:
0 ** * * root/home/djash/./sig-pubmail
/home/djash/sigpubmail.txt
15 ** * * root/home/djash/./sig-pubmail
/home/djash/sigpubmail.txt
30 ** * * root/home/djash/./sig-pubmail
/home/djash/sigpubmail.txt
45 ** * * root/home/djash/./sig-pubmail
/home/djash/sigpubmail.txt
Then of course just have thunderbird use that file as it's signature.
sigpubmail.txt
Why don´t you save some typying and time using cron?
the following:
*/15 * * * * root /home/djash/./sig-pubmail /home/djash/sigpubmail.txt
Would have the same effect!
At least that´s how I use it!

Firstly as a perl standalone application, in which case you call it with the command 'spamassassin'. This is the simplest way to use spamassassin. See 'man spamassassin' Or secondly as a pair of C programmes called spamd and spamc. Spamd is the daemon which runs continuously, and spamc is the client to access spamd. Spamd/spamc are better for larger mail servers because they have much smaller memory requirements and are faster. My guide describes using spamd/spamc with a Postfix server. See 'man spamc' derek Ok!

[newbie] hints on mp3 CD!
I need to transform several CD's recorded on wav format to mp3! But I haven´t got to the point yet! Can anybody show me the direction? The situation: These CD´s are for languages classes and on their original format (wav) I can go forward and backward nice and fast, but I thought of putting all of them on a single mp3 CD! I do need this track by track feature. I´ve tried making a iso image, but it has ended up on a single track which is not desirable at all.

The bad news is that make uninstall is often not supported by many applications, and you probably deleted your installation directory anyway :-( You are then reduced to hunting around the file structure deleting directories and files. The good news is that there is no 'registry' like under Windows for you to screw up. So you will get the idea by now that installing application in RPM form is preferable, because then you can do a simple urpme application_name to uninstall it. If your favourite application is not available in RPM format, you can create an RPM using an app called 'checkinstall'. Just type checkinstall in place of the 'make install' command and it will compile the application convert it to an RPM, install the RPM and then save the RPM in /usr/src/RPM for you.

But tks a lot! Now I have the info I needed printed, saved and backed-up! ;-) [gonna stick it in front of me!] Just I ONE funny thing! after all the steps, there was a msg complaining that I didn't have a 'regular' Mandrake kernel!?!? (or sth like that!) I have the 2.4.18-8.2mdk working! and NVidia's compiled with it! The 'stock' is 2.4.18-8.1mdk! Where can I download mdk kernel ? I've tried rpmfind and similar (also at Mandrake Club) but I found only old kernel (2.2***). Again, tks a lot! Ricardo Hi, To fine tune the kernel from i586 to athlon. is it just take the source of the currente kernel (mdk) and select athlon (menuconfig) and proceed with the regular make's ? For testing only, this is the only modification I would like for the moment! Using mdk8.1(Intel) and 8.2(athlon)! []s Ricardo Castanho If all you want is to take Mandrake's 'stock' configuation, but compile it for Athlon, then (as root) o Install kernel-source rpm o cd /usr/src/linux o cp .config k7config (note, older kernel-source pkgs might not have the stock .config included. In this case you'll need to get the one in /boot, eg cp /boot/config-2.4.xx-xxmdk k7config ) o use a txt editor to make these changes to k7config # Processor type and features (showing only the lines to change) # CONFIG_M586 is not set CONFIG_MK7=y o edit Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION = this part, and uncomment the line export INSTALL_PATH=/boot o make mrproper o cp k7config .config o make oldconfig o make dep make clean make bzImage make modues o make modules_install make install. o Done, the new kernel is ready (as a choice) when you reboot On the Intel system you'd be better off stickin with i586 -- == Linux user # 102240 = Machine # 96125 = Seti@home user == Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] newbie rebuilding src rpm (how to get command prompt)
Em Seg 23 Set 2002 09:52, Angus Auld escreveu: Hi there! As fas as I know... it's not necessary to log out X to compile a kernel! Any how, just edit the /etc/inittab file and change the line: id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: logout and you should be on prompt! If you got **really** locked into X, after the modification... reboot! To return to X, as before, just eidt that line from 3 (console/text mode) to 5 (graphic mode). HTH, Ricardo Greetings, I have a dumb question.how do I kill my X-session and get to a command prompt? I am running runlevel 5 by default, and I'm logged in to X automatically. I want to get out of X and to a text login so I can install a new kernel. When I ctrlaltbackspace, I get my login box, and don't know how to get to a command prompt. I guess what I am needing is to know how to get to a runlevel 3, temporarily?? That should be a dumb enough question for now. ;-) (Imagine ME trying to install a kernel.)
