[skate@kapi2000 skate]$

Probably best to just add it to their .bashrc file in their home directory. I wouldn't necessarily add it to the motd since its not an executable type file, its just read from, etc.

If you want it for all users then stick:
echo Machine Uptime Is:
uptime

At the end of:
/etc/bashrc
