What version of update-motd are you using? I looked at the source
package, as well as the cron.d entry placed when I installed the current
version (1.8) of the package. It looks as follows:
# /etc/cron.d/update-motd: crontab fragment for update-motd
#
# Running 'update-motd' dynamically generates the /etc/motd with
# a concatenation of output from each script in /etc/update-motd.d.
*/10 * * * * root [ -x /usr/sbin/update-motd ] && /usr/sbin
/update-motd 2>/dev/null
Which runs every ten minutes.
Looking through the changelog, I don't see any mention of changes being
made to the timing through releases. That does not appear to be the
crontab installed with the package -- looks like someone wrote their
own.
** Changed in: update-motd (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Incomplete
