Eterm startup question

[nomo_green]

i'm using Eterm 9.1 on RH 7.3.

when i start Eterm, i'd like to have it run this as it is started = something like = Eterm -linux_logo -fc

the idea is that when Eterm starts it'll start the linux_logo script so i'll have a cool linux logo printed when it first starts.

as it stands now, the command that starts Eterm is:

Eterm --tint skyblue -0 --scrollbar=0
where should i add linux_logo -fc to this?

i've tried a couple different ways, but with no luck.

thx all :cool:

Why not just alias it in your .bashrc? Try adding something like:

alias et='Eterm --tint skyblue -0 --scrollbar=0'

to the .bashrc file in your user's directory. The next time you log in, the command et or whatever you used as the alias will launch it that way.

Or, you could create a launcher for your wv/de.

Want random backgrounds without all the hassle? I don't want to follow the Eterm
author's regime for picture management. I want the easy ability to drop pictures
into a directory, then randomly choose one whenever I start an Eterm. Here's
that part of MAIN where i comment out their background line with my command that
causes a scaled pixmap to be used from the indicated directory, and the path
statement follows.

begin pixmaps

# background %random(`cat pixmaps.list 2>/dev/null`)

background -1 -1 %random(`ls /usr/local/share/Termpics/ssvs `)

path
"./pix/:~/.Eterm/:~/.Eterm/themes/Eterm/pix:/usr/local/share/Termpics/ssvs:/usr/loc al/share/Eterm/pix/"

Obviously, you have to change the path where your pictures are from
/usr/local/share/Termpics/ssvs to wherever you keep your pics.
