Hello so i have used figlet and lolcat to create a banner, however the banner only displays upon terminal start up or su “username command” if i use multiple commands the banner scrolls out of view, if i clear the banner disappears.
Can anyone please tell me how to make a permanent banner or background display in terminal?
that is normal behaviour…
if you want to be able to clear the screen and have a new banner at the top again, create an alias;
this did not work for me when i edit my .bashrc file and use
figlet -f slant -c "my text" | lolcat
figlet -f slant -c "my text" | lolcat
it works on fresh terminal but after clear disappears and i want my banner to always be displayed even after clear or clear -x command i tried both
alias clear='clear && figlet -f slant -c "my text" | lolcat'
also tried
alias clear=clear && figlet -f slant -c "my text" | lolcat
also tried this in two lines and in a single line as i have two figlet commands, but my attempts to see if it would work was with a single figlet command
i have tried with the (figlet command being in parenthesis) as well
all in all i used your string in 8 different combinations and none of them work
I believe the terminal on kali is zsh so you need to edit .zshrc its in same location as .bashrc
it did not seem to work let me try again, i used nano, ill have to redo it and check, will post the update
