#!/bin/bash
COW_PATH=/usr/share/cows

files=($COW_PATH/*.cow)    
N=${#files[@]}
((N=RANDOM%N))
cow=${files[$N]}


h=`date +%H`
case $h in
    0[0-9]|1[0-1]) greeting="Good morning!"
    ;;
    1[2-9]) greeting="Good afternoon!"
    ;;
    2[0-4]) greeting="Good evening!"
    ;;
esac

cowsay -f $cow $greeting

exit 0

Tip: May need to modify COW_PATH- This was tested on Arch Linux.
