ponysay - A cowsay wrapper with ponies.

Today your terminal, tomorrow the world!

Installation on Linux (or other Unix)

If you do not already have cowsay you will need to install it

apt-get install cowsay # assuming dpkg

Download the latest project. In the terminal, cd into the ponysay directory and run

sudo make

This will install ponysay into the $PREFIX (/usr by default). In order to use ponysay, run

ponysay "I am just the cutest pony"

Or if you have a specific pony in your mind:

ponysay -f pinkie "Partay!~"

This requires that you have the fortune utility installed

apt-get install fortune

You can try this script to ponify fortunes.

Edit your ~/.bashrc and add this to the end of the file

fortune | ponysay

Now every time you open a terminal a pony should give your fortune

If you have a custom colour palette edit your ~/.bashrc and add

if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
    function ponysay
    {
        exec ponysay $@
        #RESET PALETTE HERE
    }
fi

Q: The output looks like a mess in (TTY/PuTTY/other)!

A: Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do about it. See issue 1.

Q: You are missing (my-favourite-pony)!

A: Ask and we'll add!

Q: Which programs do you use to generate the pony files?

A: The pony files are actually a bunch of selected browser ponies that are generated into cow files via img2xterm or util-say.
