Ksig - was in KDE - now RIP

Nice clean signature rotater-- used to be part of KDE - now dead - there is a work around as a replacement.

Workaround replacement

Find your quotes in

~/.kde/share/apps/ksig/

Edit - replace <signature> with %

Remove all other markup.

Install fortune-mod

Create ~/taglines

create header and footer files and put the pre and post tagline text you want in them as text files

create text file ~/bin/tagline with the following code

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/
cat taglines/header > TMP
/usr/games/fortune taglines/taglines.txt >> TMP
truncate -s-1 TMP
cat taglines/footer >>  TMP
mv -f TMP .signature

Make ~/bin/tagline executable

Put a line in /etc/cron.d/local

To call it using your user name to run it - something like:

1,6,18,35,54 * * * * user /home/user/bin/tagline
