I wrote a slightly modified version of ecatmur's randomized colourized cow + fortune message thingie.
What's different?
- Choose your cow colour as well as text colour. (Random by default)
- Choose between cowthink and cowsay. (Random by default)
- Cleaned it up a bit, fixed some spacing issues.
- Commented, made easier for editing.
And, I kept with the Canadian theme for variable naming, as homage to my fellow Canadian. 
Here it is:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
if [ -x "$(which cowsay)" ]; then
# Randomize the cow goodness
cows=(/usr/share/cowsay*/cows/*.cow) # What kind of cow am I?
modes=("-b" "-d" "-g" "-s" "-t" "-w" "-y" "") # What's my mood?
speakers=("cowsay" "cowthink") # To think or to speak?
filter="${speakers[$(($RANDOM%2))]} -f ${cows[$(($RANDOM%${#cows}))]} ${modes[$(($RANDOM%8))]} -n"
# Update: Changed '${#modes}' to '8'. The former appears to give "2" for some reason.
else
filter="cat" # Meow
fi
normal=$'\x1b[0;0m'
colours=($'\x1b[30;01m' $'\x1b[31;01m' $'\x1b[32;01m' $'\x1b[33;01m' $'\x1b[34;01m' $'\x1b[35;01m' $'\x1b[36;01m' $'\x1b[0;0m')
# (Incase you want to use a constant, here are the index values:)
# 0 = gray
# 1 = red
# 2 = green
# 3 = yellow
# 4 = blue
# 5 = purple
# 6 = teal
# 7 = white
# Example: producer_colour=${colours[1]}
producer_colour=${colours[$(($RANDOM%8))]}
filter_colour=${colours[$(($RANDOM%8))]}
# Mark start and end points of each producer string (eg. fortune)
markproducer () {
sed "s/^/¹/;s/$/²/";
}
# Mark start and end points of filter string (eg. cow)
markfilter() {
sed "s/^/¯/;s/$/°/";
}
# Colourize the producer (inner message, eg. fortune)
colourproducer () {
sed "s/¹/ $filter_colour/;s/²/$producer_colour /";
}
# Colourize the rest (outer filter, eg. cow)
colourfilter () {
sed "s/¯/$producer_colour/;s/°/$normal/";
}
# Check if we have fortune
if [ -x "$(which fortune)" ]; then
producer="fortune -a" # All fortunes
else
producer="uname -a"
fi
# Output result
$producer | markproducer | $filter | markfilter | colourfilter | colourproducer
|
This will output it to your terminal. If you want, you can route it to where ever you like, such as /etc/motd.
I hope ecatmur doesn't mind. I edited it for my own use, but then I figured I'd let everyone else benefit. 
Plus, I learned how to use sed along the way, so everybody wins.
Enjoy,

This is a script I use, adapted from a forum posting a long time ago (several years). It will display the fortune stuff in your /etc/issue and change it every time you reboot. Just save this into a file in /etc/init.d/, and add it to your autoboot in the same way you do other scripts in there. You can easily change it to add whatever other info you want which it can derive from any runnable program.
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript
#Local system initialization script
depend() {
need localmount
}
checkconfig() {
return 0;
}
start() {
ebegin "Initializing MOTD display"
checkconfig || return $?
RELEASE="release 2005.0"
COLOR1="\033[1;6m\033[35;40m"
COLOR2="\033[1;6m\033[37;40m"
COLOR3="\033[1;6m\033[39;40m"
COLOR_RESET="\033[0m"
/usr/bin/clear >> /etc/issue
echo -e $COLOR1"Gentoo"$COLOR2 "Linux "$COLOR_RESET"$RELEASE""(\l)">>/etc/issue echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on an $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue
echo -e $COLOR3"Fortune of the day:">>/etc/issue
fortune >> /etc/issue
#echo >> /etc/issue
cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
eend $? "Failed to start MOTD display"
}
stop()
{
ebegin "Stopping MOTD display"
rm -f /etc/issue
rm -f /etc/issue.net
eend $? "Failed to stop MOTD display"
}

man getty
| russianpirate wrote: | | How can i make an output of a program show up in issue (fortune)? |
write a cron script to build a new issue file every $TIME_UNIT.
like
cat /etc/issue.head > /tmp/issue.tmp
echo -e "\n\n >> /tmp/issue.tmp
fortune -aos >> /tmp/issue.tmp
echo -e "\n\n >> /tmp/issue.tmp
cat /etc/issue.tail >> /tmp/issue.tmp
mv /tmp/issue.tmp /etc/issue

Not possible like this (I hear you could do that in GNU HURD as they have something like "filesystem triggers" that let you execute something on read. But I might be misinformed there.)
However you could set up a cron job to generate a new one every 5 secs or so.
I guess another slightly more hackish solution would be making /etc/issue a FIFO and letting a (perl?) script constantly output something to it. Is a bit too fragile for my taste though, you usually really don't want to break getty/login.

No manual entry for getty |

Try "man agetty" then

| Might it be possible to setup agetty to point to a script instead of just /bin/login? Then the script could replace /etc/issue first and then run the normal login... |

If you are wanting to display a message at each login, why not just put an entry into the users .bashrc? If you wanted everyone who uses the system to get a fortune popping up, just put add fortune to the /etc/skel/.bashrc. This also means users can choose not to get a fortune by removing the line in .bashrc.
Check here for details of /etc/issue variables.
