Disable MOTD at login with .hushlogin

Posted by Vide on March 10, 2009

If you want to disable the nice Message of the Day (MotD) your sysadmin gently shows you evry time you login in your remote shell, then all you have to do is just create a zero-lenght (as in empty) file in your $HOME called .hushlogin

> ~/.hushlogin

(you can use touch as well, or any other mean)
That’s all
