I have a distro linux without gui, only text mode.
So, it's possible run automatically a command or a program as "top" or "ping" and get the result on the main shell , after the boot and after username and password input ?
I don't want run the command or the software as a service (init.d/.....).

Thanks to all.

What's your system?

Certainly it's possible. I've made login systems that ran top, another that generated openvpn keys, and another that played a 'net radio station on login. Among other things.

How depends on your system, which you haven't stated yet. What is it?
