service motd-stat start wont work

[ITDarmstadt]

Feedback from the journalctl -xeu motd-stat.service

For Debian 6.1.55-1 the Script is not working.
Is something missing?

Also after login in SSH the MOTD looks like this now:

Using username "root".

What would be nice to, is a remove method

The motd_stat file is a legacy init.d style script.

Here's the more modern systemd service script that I've been using:

[Unit]
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
StartLimitBurst=0

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/motd_gen/motd_stat.py
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/motd_gen
User=root
Group=root
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10

[Install]
