I have thought for a while that it would be cool to append system uptime to
my sig with gnus-posting styles, but I haven't figured out how to call
uptime. It looks like there should be a way to do it with
view-process-mode.el, but so far nothing I've tried has worked.
Is anyone doing this? Can I have a hint?

`(shell-command-to-string "uptime")' should do what you want. Hooking
this to `gnus-posting-styles' should be trivial.

I used to have the following in my .gnus.el file to do that sort of thing.
(defun mmp:248-sig()
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file "/u/mmp/.sig")
(goto-char (point-max))
(delete-backward-char 1)
(insert-string " ")
(call-process "/u/mmp/bin/hfrac" nil t)
(buffer-string)))
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'(("^nnml:mail.cs248tas"
(signature mmp:248-sig))))

Trivial for you, perhaps. A marvelous learning exercise for me. Thanks to
all who gave me hints.

What was the final solution, anyway? (I'd like to do something similar
and don't feel like inventing another wheel today.)
I apologize if it was posted here already. If so, e-mail me privately
so as not to annoy anyone else.
Thanks,
Jeremy
