There are many approaches to getting it in a signature, depending on
which mail client is being used. Here's one:

	mkfifo ~/.signature
	while true; do uptime > ~/.signature; done

In fact, for this trivial case, you don't even need the pipe, although
it somehow seems cleaner to me to do so. You could just do:

	while true
	do
		uptime > ~/.signature.new && mv ~/.signature{.new,}
		sleep 5
	done
