`/usr/bin/fortune freebsd-tips`

I do get tips when logging in a terminal e.g. `ttyv5` but:

* not in KDE Plasma when using Konsole
* not in KDE Plasma when using KRunner to run `xterm`

Running `xterm -ls` does show tips.

How can I get tips by default in Konsole?

From https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/fortune-teller-on-terminal-
konsole.4796/#post-28500 (2009-06-15):

> … I have tcsh as a default shell and all console logins, xterms,
gnome-terminals, Terminals and whatever print a nice fortune.

– and defocusing from FreeBSD, this 2009 discussion did not reach a
conclusion:

* [no fortunes in konsole and yakuake / Applications & Desktop
Environments / Arch Linux

Resolved, thanks to meena in IRC:

`$shell -l`

So I edited my default profile in Konsole:

`/bin/tcsh -l`
