short and simple Linux .profile status banner

Here’s just a short post about a little .profile code snippet I use to help give me a brief system overview upon logging into my accounts.. It produces an output similar to the one below.  Now  I understand there are tons of little utilities out there like Neofetch (commind line system information tool), that provides a pretty-fied version of system information, on the Linux command line.

But much of that information is available with just one or two lines commands and that’s what I put together here..  If you know bash scripting the file below is easy to customize.  You can find more scripts and snippets at my Github page https://github.com/acbrandao

You can either copy it into your  .bashrc  or  .bashprofile  login scripts.
