I hacked one up a while back. It runs on SunOS 4.x. It's a pretty ugly
hack, but it seems to do the job. (It requires that you set up your
.plan file to be a FIFO. (Type "man mknod" to see how.)

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/file.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{ int fd;
  fd_set writefds;
  int i=1;


  while (1) {
  fd=open(".plan",O_WRONLY);
  if (fd!=1) if (dup2(fd,1)== (-1)) fprintf(stderr,"Error on dup\n");

    printf("\nHello! You are the %dth person to finger me on ",i);
    fflush(stdout);
    system("hostname");
    printf("The current date is ");
    fflush(stdout);
    system("date");
    printf("\nHere's some nice trivia for you:\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    system("/usr/games/fortune");
    fflush(stdout);

/* Send me mail indicating the request */
    system("(echo \"You have been fingered on\" `hostname` at `date`; \
             echo \"Relevant process information follows:\"; \
             ((ps -agxu; netstat) | grep finger) ) | mail -s \"Finger
notification\" \
             volpe@stp");

    printf("\nPlease finger me again sometime!\n");
    printf("*****************************************************\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    i++;
  close(fd);close(1);sleep(3);
  }
