----- ABOUT ----- "bushism" provides a fortune-like tidbit at the start of a terminal session. A background process pulls a random bushism from slate.com and caches it for enhanced performance. This program is based on Acme::Bushisms and copyrighted under the same terms as the module. ------------ INSTALLATION ------------ This program requires LWP::Simple If you don't already have that module you can grab a copy here: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/ (look for libwww-perl) Copy bushism into your favorite bin directory - I prefer $HOME/bin. Make sure the program is executeable: 'chmod +x bushism' Then add a snippet similar to this in your $HOME/.profile: if [ -x /home/jeff/bin/bushism ] ; then echo /home/jeff/bin/bushism echo fi
