I have been told that Linux Debian (i have 13 Trixie stable) files in /etc/issue.d/ are collected in an alphabetic order and then create the /etc/issue file.
But that is not true in my case. My custom file /etc/issue.d/issue.issue content did not propagate into the /etc/issue file. Can I run any command so it happens, without need to reboot or logout (i actually reboot, but that not updated the /etc/issue)?
$ cat /etc/issue.d/issue.issue
123/4 Ab.
c d e
f g h
$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 13 \n \l
$ cat /etc/issue.net
Debian GNU/Linux 13
$ sudo systemctl restart issue-generator.service
Failed to restart issue-generator.service: Unit issue-generator.service not found.
$ sudo issue-generator
sudo: issue-generator: command not found
I do not want to edit /etc/issue.net /etc/issue directly because i think that it is bad practice and /etc/issue.d/ is used for that purpose.
Computer has been reboot already.
