rwall(1M)        SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS         rwall(1M)



NAME
     rwall - write to all users over a network

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/rwall hostname ...

DESCRIPTION
     rwall reads a message from standard  input  until  EOF.   It
     then sends this message, preceded by the line:

          Broadcast Message ...  to all users logged  in  on  the
          specified  host  machines.   A machine can only receive
          such a message if it is running rwalld(1M),  which  may
          be started by inetd(1M) or listen(1M).

NOTES
     The timeout is fairly short to allow transmission to a large
     group  of  machines (some of which may be down) in a reason-
     able amount of time.  Thus the message may not  get  through
     to a heavily loaded machine.
