After updating my Ubuntu system from 10.04.1 LTS to 10.04.2 LTS I got two Messages of the day after the login.
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Welcome to the Ubuntu Server! * Documentation: http://www.ubuntu.com/server/doc [...] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Welcome to the Ubuntu Server! * Documentation: http://www.ubuntu.com/server/doc [...] 53 packages can be updated. 5 updates are security updates. *** System restart required *** |
The second message seemed to be a relict of the 10.04.1 system because it always said “*** System restart required ***” and “xy packages can be updated.”, although the system was restarted and there were no packages to update.
The trick to remove the outdated message was to delete the file /etc/motd.tail:
# sudo rm /etc/motd.tail |
