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

Motd display is dependent upon the availability of the update-motd snippet consumption service such as pam_motd.
