One of them, which assumes you have the sources installed, could be: . Compile and install `fortune'. # cd /usr/src/games/fortune # make # make install . Put in your shell startup file a line that executes `fortune' (that is, if it's not already in there). % cat >> .login test -x /usr/games/fortune && /usr/games/fortune Add what fortune options you feel like adding to this last line :-) --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
