> Can someone tell me how to randomize multiple .signature files on > a UNIX host box? The way I managed to do this was to put all the sig's into a fortune file, (look at the fortune help for more info), and create a shell script that ran fortune on this file, and piped the outout to my ~/.sig file. Once I'd done that, I created a Cron job to run the script file once every fifteen minutes... I hope you managed to follow that lot! A bit of a convulted route I know, but it seems to work :-) If you're interrested then I can send the relavent files as a template for you to work with.
