Hi:
I use fortune to create my mail signature from a file of random quotes in my home dir. Today is the first time in a long while that I've updated the random quotes and now for the life of me I can't remember what I need to do to make that text file readable and executable so that the new quotes will be part of the fortune cycle ... I have a vague memory that it's a root command but can't recall what exactly ... Another vague memory says that the command outputs a .dat file ...
Does this process ring a bell for anyone?

I'm sorry for how vague this inquiry is. But hopefully it will jog someone's memory ...
Thanks in advance,
Adam

I googled fortune, thinking I'd like to use it to generate random signatures, but got a number of hits, and don't know if there's a specific one to use. Any help please.
