NAME¶

issue.d - Configuration for creating an issue file

SYNOPSIS¶

/etc/issue.d/*

/run/issue.d/*

/usr/lib/issue.d/*

DESCRIPTION¶

The file /etc/issue is read from agetty(8) and similar tools and shown above the login prompt. While some of the informations can be adjusted with variables, the file itself is static. To display dynamic content, issue-generator(1) generates a /run/issue file from different files.

Files in /etc/issue.d override files with the same name in /usr/lib/issue.d and /run/issue.d. Files in /run/issue.d override files with the same name in /usr/lib/issue.d. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/issue.d. Files in /etc/issue.d are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the files installed by vendor packages. All configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in.
