       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.
