At the moment it does not fill more than 1 screen, but there are a couple of more items I wish to add before its done, at that point it will fill more than one screen, and I would like to double up the output into 2 columns - but I am not sure on how to build columns.
update-motd is so far only built for debian based systems - so yes, most likely I will just use cron, or .bashrc to load it.

Your rough draft has a bunch of control codes globbed in with it so it's difficult to read. What happens if you run it and that cat /etc/test.motd
Does it take more than one screen and does it show what you want?
I don't see the update-motd package for centos but it would be easy to just have yours run through cron.
