Hello,

I’ve been using Armbian on a bunch of ARM SCBs and they have a very nice MOTD on SSH login that shows CPU, RAM, Storage and networking infromation.

Is there anything similar for a regular x86 machine? I tried to grab the scripts from a NanoPi M4v2 board but had to change a ton of stuff to get it working on x86 and it isn’t portable as AMD and Intel report temps differently. Or… does anyone know if their x86 version has it working and where to get?

Just for reference I’m talking about this: https://cdn.tcb13.com/2023/armbian-motd.jpg

Thank you.

    Yes… but this armbian thing has too many dependencies I wouln’t want to run the armbianmonitor service just to power this up.

      sorry, I should have replied as top comment. I meant that on plain debian you can put executables in /etc/update-motd.d. That should do, otherwise have a look at libpam-motd , or steal the systemd scripts from an ubuntu install
