Yes, most likely you'll want to set your personal shell's rc script to
echo it out when you login, or usually where it is done is right in
the command line prompt. Take a look at a typical linux installation's
shell rc scripts for setting the prompt. Ie. ~/.cshrc or ~/.bashrc or
~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile all depending on your shell and what
you've got going on.
