Is there any way to have cowsay automatically start when I open a terminal? I use urxvt.

/etc/motd, your shell init script, a wrapper script around your terminal. Lots of ways to do it.

How do you do it via /etc/motd?

I simply add it to my .zshrc. Output:

How do you add it to your zshrc? I use zsh too.

.zshrc is in the home directory of your user. (Root .zshrc is in /root, your user's .zshrc is in ~/).

I have this at the top of the file:

cowsay 'Thank you for using zsh'

Ah, thank you. By the way, I already knew where my .zshrc was. zsh ftw!
