Hey, An extract from my .bashrc if [ -x /usr/games/fortune ]; then echo; /usr/games/fortune -a; echo fi Also, IIRC, the default 'fortunes-mod' package includes only a single data file which has no 'offensive' fortunes, so unless you add more (e.g. fortunes-off) the '-a' is unnecessary. cheers, Owen.
