# 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
```shell
# 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.
