# Dynamic motd

The aim of this project is to give some informations when you log into a server through SSH.

Example:

```

**Warning** This Debian and Debian-related distributions only.

|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
You need to install some packages:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install figlet lsb-release python-utmp bc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionnally, you can install `needrestart` which is used to show a message if your server need a reboot (main reason (and the only one I know): you have upgraded your kernel).
|
|
If you don't install `needrestart`, it will work, but you won't be warned about the need for a reboot.
|
|
`needrestart` warns you about services that need to be restarted too (but is slower than `checkrestart` for that, see below).
|
|
|
|
You can optionnally install `debian-goodies` which provides `checkrestart`, which will be used to warn you about services that need to be restarted. Relying on `needrestart` for that is slow (±7 seconds) while `checkrestart` do it faster (less than one second).

|
|
