EtlARM Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 With every upgrade I struggle with a "changed to default" login welcome message and have to do my modifications again. Therefore I would like to explain my changes and hope you can integrate them in the default version...: Your welcome message prints the $BOARD_NAME as ASCII art. Probably you have dozens of boards and can distinguish them in this way. So after login-in you directly see which board it is. I have only one type of "boards" (Cubietruck) and distinguish them by their hostname. So I have to replace "$BOARD_NAME" with "$(hostname -s)" in /etc/update-motd.d/10-header to identify my boards. What do you think about a change in that direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think about adding a config file that would allow disabling certain MOTD components (header, sysinfo, updates), and you could add your own file to /etc/update-motd.d/ that won't be affected by updates.
