Login commands

[Evil Jeff]

Is there a way to cause a program to run automatically when a user logs into my machine (ie a menu program)?

Could put it in /etc/profile ...

[iDxMan]

or in their personal profile.

(~/.bashrc or ~/.profile ?)

-r

Or you could even set it as their login shell.

Thanks, putting a command in the basrc does it, but how do I make a login command global? Is there a config file in /etc that I can do that in?
