- Synopsis:
- motd [<server|nickname>]
-
- Description:
- This is used to display a server's Message of the Day. All servers by
- default will send this message to the client when it first connects to
- the server (though it is often not displayed by the client). These
- messages typically tell a little about the server connected to, its
- various policies, who to contact with questions or problems, etc.
-
- If a server is specified, that server's motd is retrieved. If a user's
- nickname is given, that user's server is queried. Otherwise the
- default is the client's current server.
-
- Other Notes:
- Users are encouraged to read the Message of the Day of any server they
- use. In some cases, the server administrator may need to inform all
- users of something, and the MOTD is the most convenient way. In any
- event, users should be aware of a server's policies if they use that
- server, as they will be held accountable for their actions whether
- they are aware of such policies or not.
