Moon Faze Reporting

Hi Richard,

The BSD Games package includes a program called "pom" (phase of
moon) whose output you see in my signature area. The way I do
that is to run a job periodically from crontab that checks to see
if the current output from pom matches the previously obtained
output, and if it does not, it updates my signature file. It
updates it by concatenating the pom output with the unchanging
part, putting the combined thing into ".signature" ready for pine
to use. I sort of forget it's there, to tell the truth.

Chuck
