motd-prompt

This is a really simple set of scripts that displays a daily design quote in your prompt the first time you launch a terminal every day.

Details

The script is writen in python and leverages a systemd.timer in order to reset every day at midnight.

Installation

Simply move the daily-design-quotes directory into your ~/.config folder, and move both the quotes.timer and quotes.service files into your user-specific systemd unit file folder. For example mine can be found at ~/.config/systemd/user/. Now enable and start the timer.

To enable the timer use the following:

systemctl --user enable quotes.timer

To start the timer use the following:

systemctl --user start quotes.timer

To stop the timer use the following:

systemctl --user stop quotes.timer

To disable the timer use the following:

systemctl --user disable quotes.timer
