MOTD - Daily single message
Is there any way to display a different but daily MOTD when users login to the system without having to write some phrase or thoughts every day into it?
EDIT: Or how can I ŽupdateŽ the content of this file with some strings inside a txt file everyday? Any help will be much appreciated! Last edited by agasamapetilon; 09-13-2008 at 05:44 AM.. |

I read what was the update-motd package for and is just what I need. I was pretty anxious to make some tests. Now I got some time I found that the package is no longer available.
Code:
me@host:~$ sudo apt-get install update-motd Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package update-motd Code:
me@host:~$ apt-cache search motd mythtv-status - Show the status of a MythTV backend sysnews - display system news xmotd - a message of the day browser for X base-files - Debian base system miscellaneous files libpam-modules - Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM samgar@laptop:~$ EDIT: I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 Last edited by agasamapetilon; 09-15-2008 at 05:43 PM.. |
