# bash-insulter

Randomly insults the user when typing wrong command.

Change insults as needed :)

```bash

noob@bender:~ $ sl

  Y u no speak computer???

-bash: sl: command not found

noob@bender:~ $ gti status

  This is why nobody likes you.

-bash: gti: command not found

noob@bender:~ $ sp aux

  Go outside.

-bash: sp: command not found

```

# Compatibility

* Bash v4 and newer

* Zsh

# Installation

    # Method 1 - know what you are doing

    git clone https://github.com/hkbakke/bash-insulter.git bash-insulter

    sudo cp bash-insulter/src/bash.command-not-found /etc/

    # Method 2 - I don't care, insult me!

    sudo wget -O /etc/bash.command-not-found https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hkbakke/bash-insulter/master/src/bash.command-not-found

Then source the file automatically for new logins by adding the following to `/etc/bash.bashrc` or any of the other locations where you can configure your shell automatically during login:

```

if [ -f /etc/bash.command-not-found ]; then

    . /etc/bash.command-not-found

fi

```

Login again and type some invalid commands for the effects to be visible.

Note: You will have to add the script to `.zshrc` if you are using `zsh`

# Configuration

bash-insulter can be customized, or even be made polite and nice, by populating `CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS` or `CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS_APPEND` environment variables. The values should be arrays. `CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS` replaces the default messages, while `CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS_APPEND` appends more messages to the existing ones.

It is probably cleanest to source a file populating the environment variable as needed. In this example I create a file `/etc/bash.command-not-found-messages` with the following content:

    CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS=(

        "You are so smart!"

        "You look pretty today!"

        "I don't know what to say"

    )

    

Then source this file before you source the script:

```

if [ -f /etc/bash.command-not-found-messages ]; then

    . /etc/bash.command-not-found-messages

fi

if [ -f /etc/bash.command-not-found ]; then

    . /etc/bash.command-not-found

fi

```

Then logout and in again. The end result is that you will now use your messages instead of the default ones.
