Ah, go for the gusto! It's really easy to create your own file of quotes to randomly choose from, I got the howto from Todd Slater's site, but his site has gone all *political*, all kinds of *commie stuff* (love it Todd!), can't find the howto's anymore. If you want, I'll post how to go about that, or if Todd's 'listening' mayhap he'll post a link.
Actually if she's using the script I sent her its already setup to call a random 'fortune' each time its ran.
Ya, but it's nice to have your *own* database of quotes...well, at least if you're an unrepentant sh1t disturber like moi. Oh, and just looked what popped up at random... ;-)
...and of course 'twould be simple to modify that script as I did:
echo `fortune /home/joehill/sigs/quotes`
I left the "fortune" bit in Chris's script, but commented out - haven't had time to look at the fortunes database yet, wouldn't want to send something inappropriate to the nice distant cousin @microsoft.com (!) and I might eventually create my own database, but that's something I can play with later!
