System Administration Commands rwall(1M) NAME rwall - write to all users over a network SYNOPSIS /usr/sbin/rwall hostname... /usr/sbin/rwall -n netgroup... /usr/sbin/rwall -h hostname -n netgroup 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. With the -n option, it sends to the specified network groups. OPTIONS -n netgroup Send the broadcast message to the specified network groups. -h hostname Specify the hostname, the name of the host machine. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+--------------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+--------------------------------+ |Availability |service/network/network-clients | +-----------------------------+--------------------------------+ SEE ALSO inetd(1M), wall(1M), attributes(5) NOTES The timeout is fairly short to allow transmission to a large group of machines (some of which may be down) in a reasonable amount of time. Thus the message may not get through to a heavily loaded machine. SunOS 5.11 6 Nov 2000 rwall(1M)
