Without the echo, since:

$ echo date +%s%N
date +%s%N

so the md5sum is the same no matter when or how often it is run.
Sans echo does what is intended:

$ date +%s%N | md5sum | cut -c 1-32

$ date +%s%N | md5sum | cut -c 1-32

If you use sysv init, then I'd probably do it in /etc/rc.local, as in
the old days. Others may have more modern suggestions.
