janestarzLinux features fortunes. Like fortune cookies, you read'em when you log in. Mostly, these are quite funny.
Today's fortune cookie was:
"By this time tomorrow, you'll be dead"
I'm not amused. At least Idied dyed my hair so that if DEATH comes for me tomorrow, I won't have my roots showing.
In other news, need to write my column for Woodworks. *starts typing like a good termite*

Re:
Date: 2004-02-06 03:34 am (UTC)"fortune" is usually run from /etc/profile or in some script run from /etc/profile.
If the "fortune" program is in your path ('echo $PATH' to see what it looks like) you can check if it's installed with 'type fortune'.
If it is not in your path then 'locate fortune' might find it.
If you want a quick way to have a fortune when you log in, you can edit (or create) the file .profile and add the line:
/path/to/fortune
to have a fortune every time you login.
Of course if you use a (turbo) C-shell ((t)csh) instead the files are /etc/csh.login and .cshrc (i think).
And of course if you don't have the fortune program installed (what distro do you use anyway?), you're gonna have to install it first.

But that was on FreeBSD, where I couldn't figure out where the message was coming from.
