Message of the Day

Collection of my 'Message of the Day' scripts.

Requirements

• update-motd
• figlet & lolcat (for 10-display-name)

How do I set it up?

Copy the files you want in your MOTD to /etc/update-motd.d/. Make sure you have the PrintMotd option set to yes in your sshd config.

The duplicate files are different versions of the same, use either one of them. E.g. 30-zpool-simple will not print usage bars.

If you use 50-fail2ban you should comment out the compress option in /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban, s.t. the logs are not compressed and can be grepped.
