MOTD(5) Linux Programmer's Manual MOTD(5)
NAME
motd - message of the day
DESCRIPTION
The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by login(1) after a successful login but just before it executes the login shell.
The abbreviation "motd" stands for "message of the day", and this file has been traditionally used for exactly that (it requires much less disk space than mail
to all users).
