Re: modifying /etc/motd during boot

[Tim Ayers <tim.ayers@reuters.com>]

/etc/motd doesn't really have anything to do with the boot process. It 
is displayed to all users when they log in. You could change your script 
to just echo the top 3 things and call the script from ~/.bash_profile 
instead. That way only you see the top 3 things on your to-do list, not 
everyone. HTH.

Hope you have a very nice day, :-)

P.S. I'm assuming you don't have other users logging in to your machine, 
but /etc/motd is just kind of  the wrong place for this.
