securitybreach 11,363 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You need figlet installed (should be in your repos) but if you run this code in a terminal, you will get a nice Ascii countdown till New Years based upon : while [[ $(date +%Y) -ne 2013 ]];do figlet $(($(date -d 2013-01-01 +%s)-$(date +%s)));sleep 1;clear;done;figlet 'Happy New Year!' To those unable to find 'figlet' on Ubuntu, it's in 'multiverse' or also can be provided by 'toilet'. Happy New Year! https://twitter.com/...782772067471360 Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,684 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'd have to SlackBuild figlet... too lazy at the moment. I'll just use this instead: http://countdown.onlineclock.net/countdowns/newyear/ Link to post Share on other sites
