Okay, how do you do that? I mean get your systems stats in your tagline?
I've always wanted to do that.
You can use this little perl script (most of which I found elsewhere on
the 'net). I've got another one with your local weather if you want
also. Depending on what you use for your email client, it's (typically)
a simple matter to make your signature file be output from a script in
the preferences. I haven't figured out how to do it with Mozilla mail,
though. One caveat: if the uptime is less than 24 hours, it won't
display correctly, but I'll leave it for you to fix ;-) Be sure to make
it executable.
Have fun with it,
Clint
#!/usr/bin/perl
# get current kernel version
$version = `uname -ro`;
# get current uptime
@uptime = split /\s+/, qx(uptime);
($hours, $minutes) = split /[:,]/, $uptime[5];
$disp = "Uptime: " . $uptime[3] . " days " . $hours . " hours and ".
$minutes . " minutes.";
# version string has built-in newline.
print " ~\n";
print " . . Fred Flintstone <fflintstone\@bedrock.com>\n";

print " // \\\\ Kernel: $version";
print "/( )\\ $disp\n";
print " ^`~'^\n";
exit(0);
