MOTD(5)			   Linux Programmer's Manual		       MOTD(5)

NAME
       motd - message of the day

DESCRIPTION
       The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by pam_motd(8) after a success‐
       ful login but just before it executes the login shell.

       The abbreviation "motd" stands for "message of the day", and this  file
       has  been  traditionally	 used  for exactly that (it requires much less
       disk space than mail to all users).

       On Debian GNU/Linux, the content	 of  /run/motd.dynamic	is  also  dis‐
       played.	This file is generated by /etc/init.d/motd at boot.

FILES
       /etc/motd
       /run/motd.dynamic
       /etc/init.d/motd
