Here's the source to NAMEDP. I'm not sure if it made it to the group already.
This is the 4th time I have posted it. I think I mucked up the last time.
 Please do not mail me asking for help, unless
a) i know you
b) You can make me laugh.
   Otherwise I have no time to help you install it.

All I did was to put in a function that keeps track of the PID for
plan by writing it to a file called ".planpid" in your home directory.
Now you run plan in your .login, and, to kill the process when you log
out, put something like this in your .logout:

    kill `cat /home/mine/.planpid`
    rm -f /home/mine/.planpid

You have to remove the .planpid (or modify the code), because the
program will not run if a plan is already running, which it assumes
when it finds a .planpid file already there.

If someone wanted to run multiple plans, maybe one for a .signature
and another for a .plan, the save name for the PID could be changed,
and the program compiled twice (the binary is not that big, ~40K on
the HP 425's I used), or, if someone is really motivated, they could
add a command line argument for the save name.

Sure, my modification isn't very complex, but it does what I needed
it to do, and maybe someone else can use it.

****  Additions by Geoff Loker ****

I have modified Tony Rems' code for plan a bit to get rid of the
necessity for hard-coding in the file name to be set up as a FIFO.
The program will now accept an optional argument that specifies the
name of the FIFO to be used.  If that argument is not set, the default
FIFO is $HOME/.plan.

In order to use this program, your O/S needs to support named pipes.
You also need to link in getopt for the changes to work.

Any executable program can be set up to run when the specified FIFO is
opened, but don't forget that the program you specify to run is being
run under your userid.

Here is the article which appeared in comp.unix.questions a while back.  It
contains generic code that will run any program you want whenever a certain
file is accessed (i.e. the .plan file in this case).  All you have to do is
compile it (it creates an executable called 'plan') and then to get it
running say 'plan a.out &' where a.out is some program you have written.
I don't have my program any more, but basically what I did was a ps au
within that program.  It used egrep to search for someone currently fingering
me and appended the output to a file.  To get really fancy you could then
read from that file to find out exactly who it is (all in the same program)
and print out a nice personal message to whoever is fingering you as part
of what looks to be your .plan file.  A couple of things to watch out for:
If the finger is remote, the ps au won't find anything.  Also, if two people
finger you at the same time you may run into trouble, but I didn't try
experimenting with this too much.  I also found it helpful to timestamp a
date to the file, too (I used localtime() for efficiency).  This makes it
easier to look back later at the file and see who's been fingering you and
when while you were not logged on.  It also helpful in debugging your program.

So set up this code and experiment with different programs.  Just be creative
and see what else you can do with it.  One idea I used for a while is making
it print a different quote each time.  The possibilites are endless.  Enjoy.

As you have found out by now, I'm sure, the p means that this is
a named pipe aka a FIFO.  If you'd like to do this yourself, here
is a little program I wrote to do it (see the comments at the
the beginning of the plan.c file for usage info):

Here's the shar of my plan program, just cut up until it says
"cut here", and then type 'sh filename' using whatever filename
you save it as.  If you use 'plan' it will get overwritten.

The code here should compile w/o any problems on any BSD machine,
I have tried it on a Sun, Vax 750, and Pyramid 90x.  It should
also work properly on any SVR4.0 machine.

The code is pretty heavily commented so it should be self
explanatory.

Note that you should put a -DFILENAME="your_home_dir/.plan"
to get it to put your path in, or you can just edit the
source and change the value of FILENAME permanently.

If you have any problems getting it compiled, just send me mail.

Enjoy.

.TH PLAN L "\*(V)" "4BSD"
.SH NAME
plan - run an executable when a specified FIFO is opened
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B plan
[
.BR -f file
]
.B executable
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I plan
takes the name of an executable program and runs it on a FIFO that
is specified on the command line or on a FIFO in the user's home directory
named .plan.  Whenever the FIFO is accessed, the output of the executable
program goes to the FIFO.  It also writes the PID of plan to a file, so
the process can be killed during logout, and it checks for the existence
of this file to make sure plan isn't already running.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-f file_name
The \fB\-f flag causes \fIplan\fR to set up the specified \fBfile_name\fR
as a FIFO rather than the default \fB$HOME/.plan\fR.
.PP
Some sample uses of \fIplan\fR would be:
.TP
.B plan /usr/games/fortune &
This will display a randomly selected fortune as the contents of
your .plan file whenever you are fingered.
.TP
.B plan -f ~/.signature ~/bin/gensig &
This will run the program gensig whenever your .signature file is accessed,
allowing you to change your .signature whenever you post.
.TP
.B plan ~/bin/logfinger &
This will run the program logfinger whenever your .plan file is accessed,
and you can log all instances of people fingering you.
