If you want to add a banner on the login of mtcl then do the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an updated how-to as editing the .bashrc file introduces an issue on using the mastercopy command which stops it from working!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n >vi .local_profile or on later releases use nano .local_profile<\/em><\/strong> (unless you really like using vi) if the file doesn’t exist this will create it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (if you want it to be displayed for all logins then use \/etc\/issue (for v24) or \/etc\/issue.net (for telnet\/ssh)) Example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter the lines that you want to display using echo -e “(text that you want)” at the end of the file
For formatting you can use the following, so to add 2 new lines and a tab it would be echo -e “\\n\\n\\t”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
echo -e “\\n\\n”
echo -e “\\t ___________________________________________<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>“
echo -e “\\t | This login is restricted to “Company X employees |”
echo -e “\\t | Don’t use it in any other circumstances! |”
echo -e “\\ | By order of Sys Admin |”
echo -e “\\t ___________________________________________<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>\\n\\n”<\/p>\n\n\n\nOptions<\/td> Definition<\/td><\/tr> -n<\/td> Do not print the trailing newline<\/td><\/tr> -E<\/td> Disable interpretation of back-slash escaped characters<\/td><\/tr> -e<\/td> Enable interpretation of backslash escapes<\/td><\/tr> \\a<\/td> Alert<\/td><\/tr> \\b<\/td> Backspace<\/td><\/tr> \\c<\/td> Suppress trailing newline<\/td><\/tr> \\e<\/td> Escape<\/td><\/tr> \\f<\/td> Form feed<\/td><\/tr> \\\\<\/td> backslash<\/td><\/tr> \\n<\/td> New line<\/td><\/tr> \\r<\/td> Carriage return<\/td><\/tr> \\t<\/td> Horizontal tab<\/td><\/tr> \\v<\/td> Vertical tab<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
