Server: Ubuntu 14.04
It’s very slow when SSH into the server.
After type the password and press enter, I have to wait about 5 secs before I can see the command prompt. Finally I found there was a process
python3 /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable
holding the login procedure.
This script is used to display package updates info when you login (like “XXX packages can be updated”). And it’s called by “/etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available” during the login procedure.
So in order to speed up the login procedure, I commented out all lines in
/etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available
