FwupdPlugin – 1.0: Message Of The Day Integration
Description: Reference for FwupdPlugin-1.0: Message Of The Day Integration

#### Message Of The Day Integration

## NAME

fwupd-refresh.service — message of the day integration.

## DESCRIPTION

Message on the day integration is used to display the availability of updates when connecting to a remote console.

It has two elements:

- Automatic firmware metadata refresh

- Message of the day display

This uses a systemd timer to run on a regular cadence. To enable this, run:

      systemctl enable fwupd-refresh.timer

## NOTES

Motd display is dependent upon the availability of the update-motd snippet consumption service such as `pam_motd`.

To enable a proxy, set the systemd global environment in `/etc/systemd/system.conf` so all the systemd child processes have the proxy settings applied:

    [Manager]
    DefaultEnvironment=http_proxy="http://internal.corp:3128/ "https_proxy="http://internal.corp:3128/"
