Ubuntu
gnome-terminal package

When I type Thank You into my terminal, why doesn't it say, "You're Welcome" ?

Asked by Psispy Hotmail

I don't know. An OS as kind and friendly as this one, and open, and public should be polite. Can you make it do that? Thank you.

I guess because is a not a very asked feature and also because it can be easily done by the user...

So please do it by your self

1) create a script call it thank from terminal type:

nano thank

Put this into the file content

#!/bin/bash
echo "You're Welcome"

save and exit

then type:

chmod 700 thank

then try it

./thank you

then mv the file into system dir

sudo mv thank /usr/local/bin/.

cd /usr/local/bin/.

sudo ln -s thank Thank

Same thing can be don by setting an alias into user shell environment... from terminal type:

cd
nano .profile

add this rows

alias thank="echo You\'re welcome"
alias Thank="echo You\'re welcome"

Save and exit then type:

source .profile

then try so type

thank you

But with alias you must write only thank or Thank ... or you will have also the you echoed back
