[9fans] fortune in login window

[Antonin Vecera]

Hello people,

I have file $home/bin/rc/riostart , which starts my favorite programs
after my login to terminal.
I would like to have in my initial rc window printed a message from
fortune, something like this:

+--------------------------------------
|  Don't worry, be happy!
|
| term$ _
|
|


I am not successful with it. Does anybody know, how to make it?

The startup script is envoked by your profile ($home/lib/profile)
where it starts rio (I call mine startup, you seem to call yours
riostartup, its personal choice really)

here is the relevant line in mine:

	exec rio -s -i startup

and here is my $home/bin/rc/startup

	#!/bin/rc

	auth/fgui &
	if(~ $service terminal)
		window -r 0 0 200 120 stats -lmei $sysname $cpu
	if not
		window -r 0 0 200 120 stats -lmei

	window -r 201 0 845 120 faces -i
	window -r 1159 0 1279 120 clock
	window -r 95 212 921 734 logwin

The last line above starts logwin which is a seperate script which
opens my first terminal window and runs fortune etc in it, here is
$home/bin/rc/logwin

	#!/bin/rc

	fortune
	calendar -y
	news
	echo

	exec rc -i
