  • The several relevant files:
    • in quattor, sites/.../config/motd.sh : script that is called each time you connect as non-root to an ui.
    • on UIs, /user/motd_news: the portion to add Announcements.
    • in quattor, sites/.../config/motd.tpl : just does the copy of motd.sh in /etc/profile.d/ for relevant hosts.


  • The announcements is present only if NEWS is not set to "" in motd_news. The message is in purple by default ($PURP), and is automatically set back to $DEF at the end. Try to keep the message's lines about the same size as the rest.
To erase it, just put back :
NEWS=""
Example:
NEWS="
$INFO   There will be a shutdown of the whole T2B infrastructure due to power
18/01   being down at the CC from :
            Monday   25/01  queues : 8am  | whole cluster : 3pm
        to  Tuesday  26/01  6pm   (this is deadline, could be up before)
