sed command doesn't work for motd file?

double quotes when you are replacing single quoted text

Code:

sed -i "s/ENABLEMOTD='y'/ENABLEMOTD='n'/" /usr/local/src/centminmod/inc/motd.inc

 

no that doesn't disable MOTD on log in, it only prevents centmin mod itself from overwriting the /etc/motd contents with centmin mod's own template so that you can empty /etc/motd and not have centmin mod re-populate it with it's own template

 

as the motd says

Code:

# To edit this message,
# 1). edit /etc/motd
# 2). edit inc/motd.inc and set to no ENABLEMOTD='n'

 

line is intact at sed command doesn't work for motd file?

 

That's probably because this method is outdated now and some motd display text is always displayed. You have 2 additional variables you can set to disable some text for csf and bookmark links Beta Branch - update dynamic dmotd.sh banner to support 2 new variables in 123.09be… but not all text can be disabled

 

yup, this ensures centmin mod updates not overwrite the variables as what is set in custom_config.inc persists

right now there isn't an easy way for that which doesn't get overwritten on centmin mod updates as the script that displays the MOTD on login is part of centmin mod git based repository which gets updated when centmin mod updates

what are you trying to add ?

 

oh i see hehe
