Case Statement for Login/Logoff Script
I'm currently trying to write a login script. I have already written a logoff script that uses an if/else statement.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
TIMED=$(date +%H)
if [ "${TIMED}" -lt "16" ]' then
  echo Have a Great Day $USER
else
  echo Have a Great Night $USER
fi

But I'd like to write one that give me the option of saying Good Afternoon $USER. I'm not quite sure how to write that in a case statement. Any ideas for me?
Thanks a bunch
