+.TH update-motd 8 "14 February 2013" "update-motd"
+
+.SH NAME
+update-motd \- immediately update the dynamic MOTD
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B update-motd
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The PAM MOTD module updates the Message-of-the-Day automatically on user logins.
+
+But sometimes, the system administrator may want to update the MOTD immediately or on demand.
+
+This simple program performs the same actions handled by PAM on login.
+
+Note that only the system administrator can typically write to the MOTD, and thus this utility should be executed as the root user.
+
+For best practices and additional information, please see \fBupdate-motd\fP(5).
