fwupd-re...h.service(8) Message Of The Day Integration fwupd-re...h.service(8)
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/sys-
temd/system.conf so all the systemd child processes have the proxy set-
tings applied:
[Manager]
DefaultEnvironment=http_proxy=“http://internal.corp:3128/ ”https_proxy=“http://internal.corp:3128/”
