If you want to see the message when you open the terminal or after you are login in tty1-6, just put this line at the end of ~/.bashrc file (open it from terminal with gedit ~/.bashrc):
echo "Welcome $USER, today's date is $(date +"%A, %d-%m-%y")"
If you want to see the message after you are login in GUI, do the following:
Create a new file name_and_date.sh:
gedit ~/bin/name_and_date.sh
Put next 2 lines inside:
#!/bin/bash
notify-send "Hello" "Hello $USER, today's date is $(date +"%A, %d-%m-%y")"
Save the file and close it.notify-send "Hello" "Hello $USER, today's date is $(date +"%A, %d-%m-%y")"
Make the file exacutable:
chmod +x ~/bin/name_and_date.sh
Search in Dash for Startup Applications, open it and click Add.Under name type "Show my name and date" or something you will recognise.
Under command type: /home/$USER/bin/name_and_date.sh (change $USER with your user name).
Under comment (if you want), type a brief description.
