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
The service has a timeout of 5 minutes (300 seconds) to prevent it from hanging indefinitely if network conditions are poor or if the metadata download stalls.
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/systemd/system.conf so all the systemd child processes have the proxy settings applied:
