  • Great video. You can use the 'cowsay' command to show the cow saying something. To make it say the fortune, you can type "cowsay `fortune`" into the shell. You can install the cowsay command via the cowsay package.

  • @martinjacobd: Yup, I did a video on that a week or two ago. But, Thanks. I love when people post stuff like this. It one of the reasons I do my videos, to learn new stuff myself :)

    Thanks again.

  • This will work every time I log into SSH right?

  • As long as you are logging in as the user you set it up for.
