SYNOPSIS
rwall host1 host2 ...
rwall -n netgroup1 netgroup2 ...

DESCRIPTION
rwall reads a message from standard input until end-of-file.
It then sends this message, preceded by the line Broadcast
Message ..., to all users logged in on the specified host
machines. With the -n flag option, it sends to the
specified network groups, which are defined in netgroup(4).
A machine can only receive such a message if it is running
rwalld(1M), which is normally started up from /etc/inittab.
