NAME

       Welcome2L - Linux ANSI boot logo

SYNOPSIS

       Welcome2L [ -scr xx ] [ -getty ] [ -gettps ] [ -msg message ] [ -cpu name ] [ -scrrand ] [
       -xmas ] [ -xmasauto ] [ -lcol xx ] [ -nolf ] [ -private ] [-notime ]

DESCRIPTION

       Welcome2L is a little program that may run at login time to produce a BBS like ANSI  login
       logo.  It's  very  similar  to  Linux_Logo.  But  where Linux_Logo intends to be portable,
       Welcome2L intends to produce the best looking ANSI screens by  making  full  usage  of  PC
       graphic  characters.  Therefore  an  architecture  able to display those characters (i386,
       Alpha with TGA adapter, ... ) is required to use it.  And, even if it will work on  larger
       screens, it will only produce 80 column ANSI screens.

OPTIONS

       -getty will display more accurate information when launched at boot time.

       -gettps
              Like -getty but works with gettyps(8) program.

       -nolf  will not add an empty line to the ansi screen produced.

       -msg message
              will show the message given as the distribution info.

       -cpu name
              will show the name given as the CPU name.

       -scr xx
              will display screen number xx.

       -scrrand
              will display a random screen.

       -xmas  will display an Xmas screen.

       -xmasauto
              will automatically display an Xmas screen in December and January.

       -lcol xx
              will  change  the  prompt color to the color number xx. Use the help command to see
              what number is attributed to a color.

       -private
              Display an "Unauthorized access is prohibited" line  at  the  bottom  of  the  ANSI
              screen.

       -notime
              When displaying date information, do not display time.

       -noblink
              Turn  blinking off. Useful with -xmas or -xmasauto on framebuffer devices, which do
              not support blinking.

       -help  will display usage information.

EXAMPLE

       /usr/bin/Welcome2L -getty -msg "Gentoo Linux" -lcol 14 -scr 02

RESTRICTIONS

       Welcome2L is not intended to run in a xterm.

CAVEAT

       Because "A 'welcome' page has been proven to be an invitation to come  your  system,  thus
       making  it  legal  to  hack  into  your box.", you may want to use the "-private" arg when
       running Welcome2L to display an "Unauthorized access is prohibited" line at the bottom  of
       the ANSI screen.
