Showing Fortune and Cowsay in every new terminal session
vi ~/.bash_profile
Adding "fortune | cowsay" to "~/.bash_profile"
[[ -s "$HOME/.profile" ]] && source "$HOME/.profile" # Load the default .profile
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
fortune | cowsay
Type :wq to save the file.
Enjoy!
UPDATE!
You can use a similar program called cowthink.
Cowthink does the same as Cowsay, but in a different manner.
When you install Cowsay, Cowthink will come along with it.
See the difference?
