#Desc: sigd is my very own perl-script, that makes your ~/.signature into a pipe and writes randomly (or sequentially) files from a given directory into that pipe. <div align="center"> <img src="pics/sigd.png" alt="[sigd]"> <big style="color:<<COLOR__C>>">sigd - SIGnature Daemon</big> </div> <hr> <div align="center"> <h2>About</h2> </div> This page is about the SIGnature Daemon done by <link rhonda>Rhonda</link>. If you were looking for another program with the same name take a look at the end of the page. What is this sigd you might ask... Well, it creates a pipe called .signature in your homedir from which mailprograms takes text that will be appended to your mails. What sigd does is that it gives everyone that wants to read from .signature a random signature file situated in a .sig dir in you homedir. <hr /> <div align="center"> <h2>Download Section</h2> </div> You can download the source-package directly from here: <a href="sigd-0.10.3.tar.gz">sigd-0.10.3.tar.gz</a> Older Versions: <a href="sigd-0.10.2.tar.gz">sigd-0.10.2.tar.gz</a> <a href="sigd-0.10.0.tar.gz">sigd-0.10.0.tar.gz</a> <a href="sigd-0.9.1.tar.gz">sigd-0.9.1.tar.gz</a> <a href="sigd-0.8.2.tgz">sigd-0.8.2.tgz</a> Try to right-click on the link if you just get some strange signs on your screen after the click.
