Message of the day integration

Message on the day integration is used to display the availability of updates when connecting to a remote console.

It has two elements:

  • Automatic firmware metadata refresh
  • Message of the day display

Automatic firmware metadata refresh

This uses a systemd timer to run on a regular cadence. To enable this, run

# systemctl enable fwupd-refresh.timer

Motd display

Motd display is dependent upon the availability of the update-motd snippet consumption service such as pam_motd.
