“sudo gedit ~/.bashrc” looks like one sudo too much

Nice, but is there a way to make it only work on tty? It’s not much use on terminal emulators like gnome-terminal when I’m in the desktop. Maybe with a little conditional script in the bashrc than check if the bash is starting under X or not? If someone with more programing skills can post it… thanks for the help

Ok, I did some search and this works:
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
archey
fi
Put that in your .bashrc if you only want archey to run in tty’s and not graphical terminals. Also works with framebuffer terminals like fbterm.
Cheers
