I created an issue[1] to work on migrating from cron to systemd.
Regarding the first run of ``motdgen-cache-updateinfo``, I am not a big fan of it being
run from the PAM stack. That's why I have a workaround in place.
## Use cases
### Installing fedora-motd manually
User can run ``/usr/bin/motdgen`` manually post install to cache update details. Hence, in
subsequent runs, neither ``atomic`` or ``dnf`` update info will be checked. May be we can
run ``/usr/bin/motdgen`` post install. Also, another way is to start ``motdgen.service``
or enable it at boot. So, ``atomic`` and ``dnf`` commands won't be run at all from the
PAM stack, because it has already been run, post install or at system boot.
### Enabling fedora-motd in images
We can enable ``motdgen.service`` at system boot. This will execute ``atomic`` and ``dnf``
commands only during first boot and cache the results. This will result in displaying the
motd data from the cached update info result.
@walters what do you think? Is this workaround good enough?
