     84The first example should be selfexplaining. In the second example there is the ''message'' parameter missing! In that case MotdPlugin searches for a file named ''Message2.html'' in the directory specified by ''message_dir'' in trac.ini and displays the complete content of this file. This message will be shown 3 times, interval is daily. If the expiration date is before the repeat period finishes, the message is no longer shown.
