That's about right!  With pine, if you put a pipe at the end of the config
file line for sig file, pine will execute the file as a script/program and
include the output as the sig.

An example... mine!


In pine's config:
signature-file           = sigfile|


pain.dhs.org% cat ~/sigfile
echo "engelr"
echo "---"
echo "Linux:  Because rebooting is for hardware upgrades..."
uptime
pain.dhs.org%
