[Bug 1829968] Re: motd [on at least some instances] does not auto-update daily
I booted multiple virtual machines to see if I could discover a difference among releases and observed the following: bdmurray@clean-cosmic-amd64:~$ systemctl status motd-news.timer ● motd-news.timer - Message of the Day Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motd-news.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (waiting) since Wed 2019-06-12 15:40:07 PDT; 9min ago Trigger: Thu 2019-06-13 04:29:53 PDT; 12h left Jun 12 15:40:07 clean-cosmic-amd64 systemd[1]: Started Message of the Day. bdmurray@clean-bionic-amd64:~$ systemctl status motd-news.timer ● motd-news.timer - Message of the Day Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motd-news.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (elapsed) since Wed 2019-06-12 15:41:33 PDT; 8min ago Trigger: n/a Jun 12 15:41:33 clean-bionic-amd64 systemd[1]: Started Message of the Day. bdmurray@clean-disco-amd64:~$ systemctl status motd-news.timer ● motd-news.timer - Message of the Day Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motd-news.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (elapsed) since Wed 2019-06-12 15:42:11 PDT; 7min ago Trigger: n/a Jun 12 15:42:11 clean-disco-amd64 systemd[1]: Started Message of the Day.

[Bug 1829968] Re: motd [on at least some instances] does not auto-update daily
I think this is related to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6680, specifically this comment: "hmm, so OnUnitActiveSec= operates relative to a unit becoming active, but Type=oneshot service units actually never become active, unless you combine them with RemainAfterExit=, hence the confusion... Type=oneshot units after all do stuff during their start-up and when that's complete they go down again, they never stay up continiously... Hence, combining Type=oneshot with OnUnitActiveSec= can't really work... This is a big underdocumented though" Which seems relevant, since: $ cat /lib/systemd/system/motd-news.service [Unit] Description=Message of the Day After=network-online.target Documentation=man:update-motd(8) [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829968 Title: motd [on at least some instances] does not auto-update daily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1829968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
