Have a look at randsig -- an old and program that you can find here:
http://schestowitz.com/temp/ransig.tar.gz
You can re-use the bits that you like and achieve a rotation quite
automatically, e.g. by setting up a cron job. In my case:
5,20,35,50 * * * * nice /home/roy/Main/Programs/HTML_Tools/ransig/randsig;
echo

/home

[friendly tone] You must be truly embarrassed to be using slrn. How would the
developers have felt seeing their code bastardised like that?
