You may want to make your own fortune file so you know exactly which
signatures you're sending. There are a number of fortunes even in the
non-offensive database that I just don't want sent vor various
reasons. The fortune files are just regular text files with the fortunes
separated by a percent sign by itself on a line. You can put this file
in some place where fortune will look for it like
/usr/local/games/fortunes and then run 'strfile filename" where filename
is the name of the fortune file you created. Then just add to raoul's
fortune call above before the greater-than the name of your fortune
file. I hope at least someone has found this interesting or
informative.
