Welcome Message
I have a regular user account in one of the solaris machines.
I have been trying to display a message when I log on by modifying my .profile file e.g.
+-------------+
.profile
+--------------+

echo "Welcome <user>"
echo "Today is: "`date`

etc. etc.

The message keeps on popping whenever I open a new terminal window.
Is there a way of restricting this message to pop only once at login.
