Hi Kevin...

I tried your script, "modified" to fit my system, but I must still be doing
something wrong...

my script is:

#!/bin/bash
cat ~/bin/KirbaloSigFile
uname -sr
uptime

but I get whats below as a signature when I start a new message within
KNode:

Both files are in /home/kirbalo/bin

What am I doing wrong?

Kirbalo 

-- 
/home/kirbalo/bin/SystemUptimeSig: line 2: cat ~/bin/KirbaloSigFile: No such
file or directory
/home/kirbalo/bin/SystemUptimeSig: line 3: uname -sr: command not found
  3:19pm  up  18:19,  3 users,  load average: 1.27, 1.34, 1.36
