#1 Re: Giving yourself a quieter SSH login Posted by cparker (204.136.xx.xx) on Fri 24 Aug 2007 at 15:56 What I'd actually like to be able to do is have the MOTD automatically change itself on a daily (or perhaps even per-login) basis based on the contents of a quotes file. I've been thinking of writing a fortune cookie script that would output a random fortune to the MOTD, but I'd like a seamless way to do this, possibly by changing the MOTD functionality to accept output from a script instead of just reading a file. Is this possible (without changing/recompiling source code)?
