motd
Synopsis:
motd
Description:
This is used to display a server's Message of the Day. All servers by default
will send this message to the client when it first connects to the server (though
it is often not displayed by the client). These messages typically tell a little
about the server connected to, its various policies, who to contact with questions
or problems, etc.
Other Notes:
Users are encouraged to read the Message of the Day of any server they use.
In some cases, the server administrator may need to inform all users of something,
and the motd is the most convenient way. In any event, users should be
aware of a server's policies if they use that server, as they will be held accountable
for their actions whether they are aware of such policies or not.
