Hello. Maybe a stupid question. I am wondering how to display message of the day when I use a console as a normal user? I know it does that when I start runlevel 3. I just want to know how to do it at runlevel 5. Thanks
There look up the A More Aesthetic Runlevel 3 Login Screen and Harmonizing the Bash Startup Scripts. Modify to fit your distro though all that info should be valid on any distro.
After reading the link from Zmyrgel, all I had to do was open .bashrc and type my own phrase and opened up the console and the phrase showed right above the prompt. That was what I wanted. Tnanks As for the fortune, I didn't like the way it was done.
