- Hi,
- I know its possible as I just saw it today. When you "finger" someone's
- userid, how to make .plan execute a program whose results should be
- displayed on the person's screen who is executing finger command.
- (I guess what I want to do is that when finger comes to your directory
- to read .plan file, it should not just read .plan file but this should
- trigger the execution of a program)
-
- Thank you very much!

- (today I used finger on a userid, it displayed all the info in a pretty
- standard way nutill it reached the "plan:" line as at this moment this
- person's plan was displayed in a way that only a program/script could do).
