Anyone have an implementation (elegant or not) of presenting the
output of a date command when anyone reads the /etc/motd file? I
know I can just put "Attention, Y2K testers: Date is `date`" in
/etc/profile, but they tend to ignore stuff that isn't on the very
last line of output. I'd like to put this line, by means of a pipe,
ksh co-process, or whatever works, at the end of /etc/motd. If you
have some code or ideas, thanks.
