> If I want to run fortune when a user logs in, how do I edit the .login file? > I searched in my home directory, and cannot find this file. > > Todd > > > if only for a certain user, add it to his ~/.bash_profile so it will only be loaded when he logs in. or place it in the ~/.bashrc so it will fired up everytime the user opens a terminal. or put in the /etc/profile so all users get a dose when they fire up a terminal. or put it in the /etc/motd (`/usr/games/fortune`), though i am not sure if this wont be called everytime bash is invoked. ;-) just experiment, it wont hurt (unless you create a script that deletes things without confirmation, hehehehe). ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back." ============================= Anuerin G.
