How do I display the nice SSH login info again?

[snow]

Hi there, Orange Pi 5 user here, when I ssh into my Armbian installation remotely, it shows a nice welcome screen, with a bunch of facts like Uptime, Load, Temperature and so on

I tried typing 'motd' but it says no command found

I have 2 requests

1 - how do I display this manually, again, from a terminal?
2- is there a way to have this show when I open a terminal locally?  it's useful to me

thanks!

To 1.) it is only displayed if the first boot assistant is not cancelled before user creation.

To 2.) You should find some clues here: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d

The answer to your question is "sudo run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/", @snow

 

To have that information displayed every time you login, you might want to check ~/.profile or ~/.bash* files if you use bash as your shell.  I am not sure what problem you might run into since as you can see above the run-parts command needs root.  Do some testing, with and without root.

Thank you @laibsch I unfortunately don't understand @Werner's response, but yours is very helpful, thank you very much!  I will look at trying to add that to my .bashrc or .zshrc I suppose! cheers

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought does not appear at all anymore but the question was about manual call.

Has been answered properly already.
