Random quotes in terminal (console)
Mar 6, 2009 by mohamed hanoosh
Do you like displaying random quotes(adage/epigram) on your terminal each time you open a terminal?
fortune is a utility which print a random, hopefully interesting, adage each time the command is executed.
To get the output displayed each time you start a shell append the fortune command to end of the file .bash_profile ( or .bashrc) in your home directory (create the file if it does not exist).
To get more variety of quotes install more fortune cookies.
