  Alright buddy, I saw your offer of help on traceback

  This is where I am at.
  I have sysadmin
  I have uiploaded pspy and I see the following process running

  ---

  2020/05/12 06:36:01 CMD: UID=0 PID=20563 | /usr/sbin/CRON -f 0 ; /bin/cp /var/backups/.update-motd.d/* /etc/update-motd.d/

  ---

  My assumption is if I add/modify a text file in /var/backups/.update-motd.d/* it will appear in /etc/update-motd.d/
  I then have the 'sleep 30' to read it

  This is where I get stuck,

  The box doesn't have nano so it can't be edited using that, ,
  VI is glitchy even after 2 resets so it can't be edited using that and so.
  I am either down a rabbit hole or missing a third option for text document editing.

  My plan is to figure out how to get something to copy across as part of the job, then design a script that will read the root.txt and copy it into the /etc/update-motd.d folder

  Any nudges will be appreciated
