Blueprint changed by Dustin Kirkland: Whiteboard changed to:
With contribution from Jon Bernard, this feature has been mostly implemented in upstream update-motd. We need to do a few more, minor things to complete the feature. Mainly, we need an init script, or some other sticky mechanism for launching the inotify portion of the daemon. Scott James Remnant suggested that upstart could be used to do this. This blueprint suggests that we complete this functionality and use inotify for some update-motd events. Additionally, we should discuss the types of applications that perhaps should be hooked to add useful information in the /etc/motd. :-Dustin -- Enhance update-motd to use inotify https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-karmic-update-motd-inotify -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
