FAQ
Q: How do I use fortune?
- Create an away message with the string <gash-fortune> anywhere in the text. <gash-fortune> will be replaced with the output from fortune_prog.
- I am getting this warning "gash: ERROR: fortune: /usr/bin/fortune is not executiable", what does this mean?
- This means that your fortune program is not /usr/bin/fortune. Either its somewhere else, or you dont have it.
to set your fortune program type, for example:
set fortune_prog = /usr/games/fortune you can also edit your config file
- how do I use a config file?
- the easiest way is start gash and type:
saveconfig you can edit it: ~/.gashrc it will be loaded automatically at startup
- can I IM you?
- sure, I have two accounts "mrtoxygene" and "GAim SHell" (isnt that appropriate) (you can use suspend in gash to send messages to GAim SHell)
