Description-en: show message of the day in interactive shells
.
This package installs a script in /etc/profile.d that dynamically
generates and shows a message-of-the-day in inteactive shells by
running scripts installed in /etc/update-motd.d.
.
Showing the message-of-the-day in shells is useful when pam_motd does
not show it, for example when starting the interactive shell does not
require login.
