put it in .profile or login file for which ever shell you are using .. for ksh its .profile in home area

hi thanks for your reply but im not sure what you mean

when you log in to unix box by default .profile ( for ksh ) runs to load defaults this same file can be used to customize your shell like changing your prompt , include functions and so on same way you can display message or run script.
.profile or other equivalent files are located in user HOME area and if its not there then create one. to view these files use ls -la command

thank's for your help but what i want to do is make a data base of users like on a website
so they logon to that and not my root box.

and is it posible to change the color of my shell script text
Thanks
