Display a random fortune in the login window
Authored by: apaterso on Nov 19, '04 05:51:18PM

I must be missing something, because I don't get anything to show up.

I have the file

usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText -string "$(/sw/bin/fortune)"

saved as loginfortune.sh I have chmod 755 it, it lives in the /Libarary/Hooks
directory. But no dice, actally all I get is an empty box where the fortune ought to be. Any neat ideas?

Andy
