/etc/motd is only read and not executed, so technically speaking, you cannot put shell commands in there.
However, it's possible to execute a shell script at login time that will have the same result. This is usually achieved by adapting the /etc/profile script that is executed each time a user logs in. A useful practice is to put the command you want to be executed in a script named /etc/motd.sh and call this script from /etc/profile, usually at about the end of it.

There seems to be a way of using cron to regularly replace the static motd message: md3v.com/create-a-linux-server-status-motd I think that this profile script seems to be a better way, less moving parts.

You can place themotd.shscript inside/etc/profile.d/with permissions755. This way you wouldn't need to call it from/etc/profile.

In Ubuntu servers there is a program called update-motd from package libpam-modules:
UNIX/Linux system adminstrators often communicate important information
to console and remote users by maintaining text in the file /etc/motd,
which is displayed by the pam_motd(8) module on interactive shell
logins.
Traditionally, this file is static text, typically installed by the
distribution and only updated on release upgrades, or overwritten by
the local administrator with pertinent information.
Ubuntu introduced the update-motd framework, by which the motd(5) is
dynamically assembled from a collection of scripts at login.
This collection of scripts lives under /etc/update-motd.d/. For more information see this wiki page.
Another alternative to generating /etc/motd, instead of having a script run at login is to have a cron job. Certainly it is not the same, but I have met this approach sometimes in the past.

We really do prefer that answers contain content not pointers to content. Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
