NAME

       verse - Displays a daily devotional verse from scripture

SYNOPSIS

       verse

DESCRIPTION

       Displays     a     verse     taken     from     the     database     in
       /usr/share/verse/daily.verse that is specific for the current date.

INTEGRATION

       If you invoke verse from /etc/profile then the daily  devotional  verse
       will  appear  on  each login for each user. Alternatively you could put
       the invocation of verse into the .profile of a user and have each  user
       choose if he wants to use verse or not.

       Note  that  you  will  run  into trouble if you have dialin users whose
       scripts call pppd and put the verse call into /etc/profile. The  output
       might confuse the ppp programs.
