Quiet login

From Earlham CS Department

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Simple command to make your shell login quiet:

touch $HOME/.hushlogin # silences everything

This affects only your user.

If you're a sysadmin and want to know more about this, you're looking for /etc/motd, update-mot.d/10-uname, and (generally) "message of the day".

Tested and working 2022
