I have set xp_motd "motd.txt" in server.cfg, but motd is not being displayed on map start. If you type /motd it does appear and works in crontab */6 * * * *    /motd all motd.txt Any ideas?

motd is displayed on ClientConnect or explicitly on direct command usage.
try to use execstr construction to display it whenever you want.
E+ fathers, am I right? )

Does not display on ClientConnect. Does display every 6 minutes via crontab. I don't want to rcon the motd, I want it to display when client connects.

xp_motd

xp_motd "motd.txt":
File name which holds the message of the day that will be printed to
clients when they connect to the server, or when the client explicitly
requests it with the /motd client command.

Keep it easy )) Lets find out the things causes that.
What about such client CVars like cg_centertime and xp_DrawNotify ?
Possible you are the only person who didnt see your server motdz ))
