How to change /etc/motd on ubuntu systems.
Raw
ubuntu-motd.txt
1. Create /etc/motd.ricardo
This is the real motd
2. Create /etc/update-motd.d/01-motd-ricardo
#!/bin/sh
echo
cat /etc/motd.ricardo
3. Make /etc/update-motd.d/01-motd-ricardo executable
chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/01-motd-ricardo
4. Marvel at how much easier this was when all you had to do was update /etc/motd.
