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.
