Per my knowledge the motd messages are generated by a bash script at /etc/motd.

So you basically need to execute the script either by Objective-C or Swift and grab the output

Unable to find this file in directory /etc/motd – Angel May 22 '19 at 10:24
@Angel I think that is the script and it is not a directory, just try to check the content. – deimus May 22 '19 at 10:57
