Setting up "fortune" for logins ...
![]() |
I want to set up the ever popular fortune program to display a random fortune each time a user logs in. The program is installed, but which config file do I need to edit to get the program to automatically run after each successful login?

ok ... got it! In that bash config thingie file (more specifically, the last line of .bash_profile) in my home directory ... I just typed /usr/games/fortune and it worked 
My problem now is trying to figure out these really stupid, corny jokes. I *would* say they just went over my head, but everyone I ask doesn't have a clue what they mean either. Oh well!
