Ok, I fixed my errors on my motd script by pretty much going line by line and appyling my c++ knowledge to anything that didn't look right. Pretty simple errors.
To update the uptime and fortune (if you have it) simply add */ 5 * * * * to your /etc/crontab. Follow the examples below and change the location of your motd/issue. Hope that helps!

Ok here is what I did, I may have an extra file or two floating around but oh well.
wrote my motd that I wanted to display, saved it in /etc/init.d/motd
| Code: |
cp that file to /etc/motd
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/motd
chmod 755 /etc/motd
|
At this point motd wouldn't refresh by itself (either that or I didn't wait longer enough  ) so I wrote a simple update script.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
cp /etc/init.d/motd /etc/motd
chmod 755 /etc/motd
/etc/motd
|
I put that file in /etc and /etc/init.d. Then rc-update add updatemotd default and add the following line to your /etc/crontab.
| Code: |
*/5 * * * * root /etc/updatemotd
|
Viola! Every 5 minutes and/or login the update script is called. Hope that helps.

| hmmm...the cron entry only updates the file...that means I have to log-out and login to get updated results...it would be nice to have it automatically refresh every so often...I've never seen it done (in console) but I was wondering if it was possible? (to update the uptime on the login screen while it's still up) |

sorry to bring this up again so soon...but I kinda want a definate answer...no is ok but I just need to know...a constantly updating uptime count is not possible? (on the screen...sorta like the screen would be refreshed every minute or so, but only on the login)...perhaps it is not clear what I want?

The only way i know of is to have it crontabbed or something and then hit "enter" on the login screen when you want it to update. Running "killall -HUP agetty" after each time the issue files are updated would do it, but i have no idea what possible consequences there might be from this... seemed to work for me, but i have no intention of doing that regularly.

Fine, made it as Sedated suggested, there is just one anoying problem:
| Code: | fuero@bmfh fuero $ sudo /etc/init.d/issue start
* Could not get dependency info for "issue"!
* Could not get dependency info for "issue"!
* Building Linux Welcome Message
* Creating /etc/issue... [ ok ]
* Creating /etc/issue.net... [ ok ]
fuero@bmfh fuero $
|
I think baselayout may be the culprit in this case, but I can't figure out why...
| Code: | emerge -s baselayout
Searching...
[ Results for search key : baselayout ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* sys-apps/baselayout
Latest version available: 1.8.6.8-r1
Latest version installed: 1.8.6.8-r1
Size of downloaded files: 89 kB
Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: Base layout for Gentoo Linux filesystem (incl. initscripts and sysvinit)
|
BTW: @Sedated: You might change your entry in the crontab to
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/linux_logo restart && killall -HUP agetty |

Weird. Works great for me.
| Code: | hp root # /etc/init.d/linux_logo restart
* Starting linux_logo
* Creating /etc/issue ... [ ok ]
* Creating /etc/issue.net ... [ ok ]
hp root # |
works find with sudo too:
| Code: | gokeefe@hp gokeefe $ sudo /etc/init.d/linux_logo restart
* Starting linux_logo
* Creating /etc/issue ... [ ok ]
* Creating /etc/issue.net ... [ ok ]
gokeefe@hp gokeefe $ |
Does it fail to make the issue files, or is it just a goofy error message that means nothing? You renamed the init script to "issue", did you also rename /etc/conf.d/linux_logo to /etc/conf.d/issue? I have baselayout 1.8.5.9 installed... slightly older than yours.

This error occurs even when booting...

| Posted: Fri May 23, 2003 8:27 pm Post subject: ssh message |
|
|
I am trying to get a message to display before the prompt when I ssh into the box. I read this thread, and can't seem to get anything to work.
I simplified the problem to this:
| Code: | $ echo testing > /etc/issue.net
$ chmod 755 /etc/issue.net |
and I thought the message "testing" would appear before the login prompt when I ssh into my box. But no message appears.
Any ideas? |

add or uncomment the following line from your sshd_config file, probably /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
| Code: | | Banner /etc/issue.net |
/etc/issue and /etc/issue.net are only simple text files, they don't need to be executable. just give them 644 permissions.

hi there,
been playing round with it, but got a problem:
here is my code:
| Code: |
#!bin/sh
rm -f /etc/issue
/usr/bin/clear >> /etc/issue
echo -e "SeJo's Gentoo $(uname -sr) on $(uname -p)" >> /etc/issue
echo "$(cowsay -f stimpy "w00t")" >> /etc/issue
echo >> /etc/issue
cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
|
but the stimpy image isn't properly displayed the is properly in the /etc/issue but displayed on console some of the chars are escaped or something...
how do i solve that?

ive been playing around with this myself, and i made an ascii for gentoo if anyone's interested.
if anyone would clean up my code, add extra features, please feel free to do so. some pointers on how to make the script start just before the login prompt would also be nice.
screenshot here: http://www.smallville.no/joda2k/console.png
ascii logo + the perl script i made for the info can be found here:

Hi !
I don't know if someone has already mentioned it, but you can also edit your /etc/issue to display boot messages. And if you put and "clear" in .bash_profile you'll get an double effect 
Btw, for some nice ascii art (requires mostly 1024x768 text console), you can look here : http://jojo.j-ws.de/showtopic.php?forum=computer.for&index=2 |

for a good ascii converter, play around with this: http://www.text-image.com/
Additionally, for those who havn't heard of it, AAlib is the most amazing advance in ascii-art ever. try the following sometime:
| Code: | emerge -v aalib
