This "motd" fragment has a bug/inconsistency.

 

# any changes will be lost on board support package update

THIS_SCRIPT="armbian-config"
MOTD_DISABLE=""

/etc/defaults/armbian-motd has :

 

# add space-separated list of MOTD script names (without number) to exclude them from MOTD
# Example:
# MOTD_DISABLE="header tips updates"

This works correctly for the other "motd" fragments which contain, for instance :

 

THIS_SCRIPT="sysinfo"
MOTD_DISABLE=""

but fails to disable 41-armbian-config unless the MOTD_DISABLE string includes armbian-config.

 

I've verified that nothing untoward happens if you change 41-armbian-config to

 

 

THIS_SCRIPT="config"
MOTD_DISABLE=""

 

and suppression then occurs correctly with /etc/defaults/armbian-motd set to:

 

# add space-separated list of MOTD script names (without number) to exclude them from MOTD
# Example:
# MOTD_DISABLE="header tips updates"

MOTD_DISABLE=" header tips updates config"
ONE_WIRE="" # yes = show 1-wire temperature sensor if attached 

 On a separate, but related note, I do use the 30-armbian-sysinfo script.

However my version has a minimally modified output. My modified version first.

I prefer my version.   

I'm very much a newbie on this board, I have no idea where to post the suggestion.
