Aucbvax.2155 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!duke!decvax!ucbvax!knutsen@SRI-Unix Tue Jul 7 17:02:20 1981 proc table GC + fortunes From: Andrew Knutsen I dont know if its just our system or what, but after we've been up a week or two our "ps" listings start to get very strange. I suspect others have this problem because were pretty close to "virgin Bell". Does anybody have a utility that runs thru and tries to clean things up a bit? In exchange, we here at SRI have compiled an extended version of the "fortune" program. This consists of a file containing one-liners gleaned from various sources around the net (no tinglers, sorry) and a modified fortune program that does an lseek rather than reading the whole file as the Bell one does. The file has around 1200 fortunes, so repititions are rare. Let me know if you want a copy, or have more fortunes to fold in. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
