Logon script
Hi:
I am wondering if anyone has a logon script to be put in /etc/profile or environments that will display the logged on username and path?

echo "$USER" # shows username
echo "$(pwd)" # shows current work dir

but I'm not quite sure if thats what you've been looking for.

Edit /etc/profile and add the following there

n_name=`whoami`
n_date=`date +%m%d%y`

banner ${n_name} ${n_date}

Why do you need to do this ?

Be careful with the path (in case it's the $PATH variable you'd like to display). /etc/profile is executed before the personal ~/.profile (where PATH usually is altered to fit the users needs) , so the value you display may not be the one the user actually uses.
