No need for a cronjob. In the update motd script: if upgrade-available cache file is populated, print it else if it's available but empty, check its timestamp, and if it's older than 1 day old, update the cache file in the background else if it doesn't exist, update it in the background Profit!

I'll wait for Michael to release it though. -- update-manager update-motd scripts delays login when the network is firewalled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
