This uses a systemd timer to run on a regular cadence. To enable this, run: 
.PP
.nf
\f[B]\f[R]\f[B]
.fi
.nf
  systemctl enable fwupd-refresh.timer
.fi
\f[R]\f[B]\f[R] 
.SH NOTES
.PP
The service has a timeout of 5 minutes (300 seconds) to prevent it from hanging indefinitely if network conditions are poor or if the metadata download stalls.

Motd display is dependent upon the availability of the update-motd snippet consumption service such as \f[B]pam_motd\f[R].
