The easiest way of doing that is to put a "clear" 38 escape sequence into <filename>/etc/issue</filename>. A simple way of doing 39 this is to issue the command <command>clear > /etc/issue</command>. This 40 will insert the relevant escape code into the start of the 41 <filename>/etc/issue</filename> file. Note that if you do this, when you 42 edit the file, you should leave the characters (normally '^[[H^[[2J') on the 43 first line alone.</para> 40 <para> 41 One of the most common things which people want to do is clear the 42 screen at each logon.
