Here's my sigmonster, I have lots of files in a single dir (TIN style sigdir)
Yeah I know about as elegant as a Russian sledgehammer; but it works
and was the first script I ever wrote.
<Begin Script>
#!/bin/bash
# this sets $b to the number of files in .sigs and randomly picks one
b=`ls ~/.sigs | wc -w`
RANGE=$b
number=$RANDOM
let "number %= $RANGE"
# this ensures that it won't pick sig000 which is invalid (of course if
# have a sig000 then comment this out)
if [ $number = "0" ]
then
number=1
else
number=$number
fi
# this makes sure that it reads the right file,
# ie: sig001 not sig1.
# When your .sigs get to the thousands
# Uncomment the following and
# replace the USEME=$number in the $d stanza
m=1000
c=100
d=10
if [ $number -ge $m ]
then
USEME=$number
else
if [ $number -ge $c ]
then
USEME=0$number
else
if [ $number -ge $d ]
then
USEME=00$number
else
USEME=000$number
fi
fi
fi
# Here we define output,
# this is for the screen.
echo
"=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-="
echo " Your random .sig is sig# $USEME
\\"
echo " Your .sig reads:
\\"
echo
"==========================================================================="
cat ~/.sigs/sig$USEME
echo
"==========================================================================="
echo " Have a super-linuxy day!
/"
echo "

echo
"=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-="
# This puts the random sig in a file named .slrnsig in the News directory
# and moves the old sig into a file named .slrnsig.old in case you want to
# use it instead.
cat ~/News/.slrnsig > ~/News/.slrnsig.old
cat ~/.sigs/sig$USEME > ~/News/.slrnsig
<End Script>
