[NTLUG:Discuss] Login processing for RH 8.0

[jay linux]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Linux. I'm trying to creat a bash (or whatever) script 
that runs every time I *login*. I want it to tell me when I last logged in 
and the number of times I have logged in before.

I was going to execute 'last' and then get the info I want from it. Is that 
how it's normally done?

Which file do I hook this into? The .profile? When I login using the RH 
login interface I'm not even sure where messages would come out since I'm 
not automatically put into a tty or shell or anything....

Thanks, Jay
