Use keychain faster on the second run Unix

THIS IS INCORRECT! (2004/05/17)

You don't need to use keychain to check if an instance of ${SSH_AGENT} is running, just check ${SSH_AGENT_SOCK} exists and is working or not. Cut and paste the following into your .zprofile or .bash_profile (be careful about spaces at the line ends, however). Of course you should have keychain installed.


function start_keychain() {
    /usr/bin/keychain --quiet \
        ${HOME}/.ssh/identity ${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa ${HOME}/.ssh/id_dsa
    source ${HOME}/.keychain/${HOST}-sh
}

# Start keychain (a tool for ssh usage)

if [[ ! -f ${HOME}/.keychain/${HOST}-sh ]] ; then
    start_keychain
else
    source ${HOME}/.keychain/${HOST}-sh
    if [[ ! -e ${SSH_AUTH_SOCK} ]] ; then
        start_keychain
    fi
fi
 

Changing the default forms in Outlook 2000 Windows

I'd like to edit the default look of the compose mail window and read mail window, so that I can see the catagories I use. In Outlook parlance, that means editing the default form (IPM.Note).
