Signature Switch - Pre-Load-Executable |
Using the Pre-Load-Executable-feature you can launch an external program to do specific tasks which should be done before actually loading the signature-file.
The following items get handed over to the "Pre-Load-Executable"-program (in listed order):
- the full path of the sig-file to be loaded
- the the subject of the current message
- the "from:"-email-address
- the "to:"-email-address(es) (if present when switching)
- the "cc:"-email-address(es) (if present when switching)
- the "bcc:"-email-address(es) (if present when switching)
- the addressed newsgroups (if present when switching)
Note:
When this feature is activated the executable will be launched whenever a signature gets loaded. If you only want to take action on specific signatures then the program has to deal with that itself (see third example below).
Here are some basic usage examples...
Invoking a shell-script that puts your Linux-version and Uptime into the sig-file:
#!/bin/sh
echo "-- " > "$1"
echo -n "My Linux: " >> "$1"
cat /proc/version >> "$1"
echo -n "My Uptime: " >> "$1"
uptime >> "$1"
|
Check for a certain recipient and add extra information:
#!/bin/sh
SIGFILE="$1"
echo "-- " > "$SIGFILE"
echo "Business Phone Number: 12345" >> "$SIGFILE"
until [ -z "$1" ]
do
if [ "$1" == "moe@zilla.org" ]; then
echo "Private Phone Number: 67890" >> "$SIGFILE"
fi
shift
done
|
Do some manipulation only when a certain signature was selected:
#!/bin/sh
SIGNAME=`basename "$1"`
IPADDRESS=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | perl -n -e 'if (m/inet addr:([\d\.]+)/g) { print $1 }'` >> "$1"
if [ "$SIGNAME" == "internal.txt" ]; then
echo "-- " > "$1"
echo -n "My current IP: " >> "$1"
echo $IPADDRESS >> "$1"
fi
