Is there a way to get a .plan file to execute shell script when it is read by finger??
I'm sure this is an old question, but it seems there must be a way.
echo \"date\" or some damn thing that will execute as opposed to printing.
use a named pipe for your plan: $ cd $HOME $ /bin/mv -f .plan .plan.old $ mknod .plan p $ (date > .plan) & $ finger `whoami`@0 or use "masterplan" program available from the net. But IMHO, all this activity is a WASTE of time.
