| -- | |
| -- CONFIGURATION: | |
| -- 1. Change the "fortune" variable to the path of your fortune program. | |
| -- 2. Change the "signatureName" variable to the name of the signature to update. | |
| -- 3. Change the "signatureTemplate" variable to the path to the file containing | |
| -- the signature prefix content. | |
| -- | |
| -- INSTALLATION: | |
| -- Use the AppleScript editor to compile to a .scpt file, then install someplace appropriate. | |
| -- | |
| -- USAGE: | |

| -- third party application). Or, you can run it as a cron job, every so often. | |

| -- * * * * * osascript /path/to/fortune-sig.scpt | |
| set fortune to do shell script "/Users/bmc/bin/fortune" | |

| end appIsRunning | |
