Linux Nyan Cat MoTD

I’ve always had interesting or funny MoTD on my servers. Since my naming convention is based on Futurama characters, I’ve plenty of fun MoTDs.

There’s a project I’m working on, the acronym of which is N.Y.A.N – so of course I’ve to create a Nyan cat MOTD!

Here’s what the MoTD looks like.

On a Ubuntu machine, you can add this file to  /etc/update-motd.d/ and call it something like 20-nyan. chmod 755 the file any away you go!

 

#!/bin/bash
LINES=24
COLUMNS=80
