Normally, this resolves to /usr/local/emacs/etc/loadst, but if your exec-path variable has a directory earlier than that one that contains an executable loadst, it will be used instead. So you can modify loadst.c to make a private version, or better yet, simply make it the shellscript: while true do date +%r sleep $2 done (note: emacs calls loadst with arguments of -n and <number of seconds to sleep>, which defaults to 60. To be squeaky clean, the shellscript should check its arguments). I once used this trick to get a modeline that said [News] when rn -c -s had non-0 exit status. Now there's always news, so I don't bother. -- /jr, nee John Robinson What a waste it is to lose one's mind--or not jr@bbn.com or bbn!jr to have a mind. How true that is. -Dan Quayle
