Update-MOTD

This repository provides a basic bash interface to dynamically update the /etc/motd file.

Usage

The update-motd script iterates through every script in /etc/update-motd.d/ and directs the output to /etc/motd. Ordering is controlled via the script number (e.g. 00-header, 10-sysinfo, etc.) You may alter the scripts or change the order to show as much or as little information as possible.

The motd-upd-count script is referenced by the 20-updates script, and generates a count of all pending updates that have not been installed.

The systemd unitfiles run update-motd at 1 minute after boot, and every 30 minutes after.

Custom Configuration

Add or alter the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d to suit your needs. Any output produced by these scripts is used as part of the motd. Pay attention to the numbering to ensure proper ordering.
