First, thanks. What I just wanted to try out is to have my /etc/motd updated
automatically from a changing value in another text file. So that way I
wouldn't have to update both every time. No way for that? Thanks.
You keep
Hi Jarrod,
what I think you could do is to make a script to automatize the whole procedure.
This script would update both the text file and the /etc/motd.
Since /etc/motd is a plain text file and not a shell script or
something like that, you cannot do what you will with a command
directly in it.

Say i have a file /root/setup.client.sh, and it has this line:
IFACE=ng10
Now I want to have the motd, when it is displayed after login, to go fetch

This probably won't get any points for style, but instead

Ok sorry.
Precisely. I have a file (actually a script, sorry) that has a lot of the
settings for a client in, eg IP addresses, interface they connect on etc.
and I use the motd to keep all this together, just to make things
Just a quick question, is there a way to tell a normal text file (for
instance: /etc/motd) to get a value from another file when it displays? And
what would be the syntax if this is possible? Thank you to whomever replies.
