Where does the System Information information come from on login?

  • 772

I have a local server running Ubuntu 10.04 headlessly. When I ssh to the server I get some core information about the system, such as 

System load:  0.0                Processes:           XXX
Usage of /:   2.5% of 452.69GB   Users logged in:     0
Memory usage: 10%                IP address for lo:   XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Swap usage:   0%                 IP address for eth0: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Temperature:  40 C

What is the command to get this information to print again? I tried looking in the rc.local and the bash.bashrc file to see how this was run, but I could not find anything.

    The command is

    landscape-sysinfo

    it is run from /etc/update-motd.d/50-landscape-sysinfo when you have installed the package landscape-common.

    As of Ubuntu 12.04 (perhaps earlier), update-motd is run at login time by the PAM module pam_motd.so. Originally, update-motd was a cron job.

    landscape-sysinfo is a part of the package landscape-common, so if it's missing you can install it by the command:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt install landscape-common
