How to automatically run a command when you open a Konsole

Hi

Here is a challenge. Anyone know how to automatically run a command when you open a new konsole window, eg show the date and time?

Regards
Shelton.

hmmm...you could add whatever you want to run in /etc/bashrc. That would run everytime you open up any terminal.

You could also put it in ~/.bashrc (so you can select your action for
particular users). BTW you might use the line

/sbin/hwclock

to print date/clock to the console.
