Hello Derek Fountain ,

Can you tell me how do you append the Unix uptime output in your email? Is it realtime generated?

...

7:53am up 44 days, 16:00, 2 users, load average: 0.18, 0.11, 0.10

It's easy... at least in KMail. - Select Settings, Configure KMail, Identity. - Make sure the "Use a signature from file" radio buton is selected. - Type uptime in the space to the right of "Signature file" - Select (put an X) in the box to the left of "The file is a program" - Click "Apply" To turn on the auto signature bit: - Select Composer - Select (put an X) in the box to the left of "Automatically append signature" - Click "Apply" If you use a different email reader, poke around in the option settings. If it has a function to add a signature (virtually all of them do) it may also have a setting to allow it to run a program and append the results as the signature. You can add in pretty much any program that has a text based output... for example, you can use "fortune" instead of "uptime" and the fortune script output will be appended to your email as a signature. Later C.
