# ElegantMOTD
ElegantMOTD is a Python-based Message of the Day (MOTD) generator for displaying system information in a visually
appealing and informative manner. It works on Linux systems and provides details such as system load, disk usage, memory
usage, swap usage, temperature, network interfaces, CPU usage, and more.
## Features
- Rich, colorful text-based output.
- Displays various system information.
- Customizable visual theme.
- Easy to use and integrate into your system.
## Usage
To display the Message of the Day, run the following command:
```bash
elegantmotd
```
You can choose a visual theme using the `--theme` (or `-t`) option:
```bash
elegantmotd --theme emoji
elegantmotd -t nerdfont
```
### Available themes
- `none` (default): no icons, clean plain text (TTY-safe)
- `emoji`: colorful emojis for graphical environments
- `nerdfont`: icon-rich display using [Nerd Fonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com)
## Live Updates
If you want to enable live updates of the system information, you can use the `--watch`/`-w` option:
```bash
elegantmotd --watch
```
With the `--watch` option, the MOTD will be continuously updated with the latest system information.
## Output
## Customization
You can customize the output by modifying the `motd.py` file and adding or removing system information modules as per
your preference. The available modules are:
- Load
- Disk
- Memory
- Temperature
- Process
- LoggedInUsers
- Network
- CPU
To add or remove a module, simply add or remove the corresponding import statement and the respective class instance
from the `sysinfos` list in the `display()` function.
