Question
How do I permanently change /etc/motd on a Ubuntu install?
I've tried setting up crontab to run a python script that replaces the contents of /etc/motd. Although the contents of the file changes, it appears to have no effect when I log back in and the contents is reset.
I've looked into update-motd, but this doesn't seem to be used. Is there a way to permanently change the contents of the file?
