-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
OK, I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but there are a number of possibilities... "Avinash m Gowda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I wanted to knw how to print a file which is > in text on screen whenever i log in If you want to print a standard piece of text every time somebody logs in (like the copyright/warranty message that currently appears), then edit /etc/motd and change it to whatever you like. Beware however that on reboot, the first line will be chopped and replaced with the value of `uname -a`, so you'll want to leave 2 blank lines at the start. > that is printing a quote everytime i login If you'd like a random fortune to be displayed when you login, edit your ~/.bash_login, and add the following line: /usr/games/fortune You need to ensure that the package 'fortune-mod' is installed. You can also choose from a selection of fortune packages to source your random quotes from, including: fortunes-min - a small selection of fortunes, required by fortune-mod, fortunes - a huge chunk of fortune cookies, fortunes-off - offensive fortune cookies. If you're easily offended, don't install this one... fortunes-cs - Czech and Slovak fortunes fortunes-it - Italian fortune cookies > or printing a quote in my mail everytime i send > a mail. A sigmonster? Basically it involves creating a FIFO buffer (or socket?) for ~/.signature and having a small daemon feed it your signature and a cookie. Coding it is an exercise left to the reader. :) - -- Graeme. [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Life's not fair," I reply.
