macos - Utilizing the "say" command in terminal

Question

Is there any way to make terminal execute the "say" command when I login to my laptop? I want it to have a greeting when I log in. Is that possible at all?

Answer 1

Sure, paste the following into a file called greet in your HOME directory:

#!/bin/bash
say "Hello"

Then start the Terminal, and type

chmod +x greet

to make it executable.

Then go to the Apple menu at top-left of the screen, and click System Preferences->Users & Groups, then select your username, and on the right click Login Items. Click the little + sign and add the file called greet from your HOME directory.
