Make a message appear on opening a terminal

Generally terminals open to the standard prompt, with no other frills with it. (Except in linux mint)


In case you want to change this and want a message to appear each time the terminal is opened then you can do it as shown below.


Open ~/.bashrc using an editor like gedit
gedit ~/.bashrc


At the end of this file add the message that you want to be shown each time the terminal is opened.



For e.g.


echo "****************Hello, have a great day*********"


Now close the terminal,open a new one and the message should appear as the first thing on the screen of the terminal.
