Graphical bootup fortune
Contributed by: Mike Miller
This tip is valid for:
Both BeOS and Haiku
You’re probably already familiar with the bash fortune function. It’s also easy to make fortunes pop up in graphical alert boxes. Just type this into Terminal:
alert "`fortune`"
Like it? Add it to your UserBootScript and you’ll get a fortune window every time you boot your BeOS system.
For more on using the alert function, see the tip Alert Boxes.
