using wall command
Hello,
I tried using wall command. But the message was not broadcast on to other users' terminals. Am i missing some other step here? Thanks in advance. Sameera |

here are the details. Sorry missed it in earlier post
Host OS - Ubuntu 22.04. I am using virtual machine manager and have installed Centos 7 as the guest OS. I have created 2 users in Centos. I am using wall command in the centos root. I checked mesg permissions on the 2 users. It says 'is y'. When i run the wall command with some text, I am unable to see the same in the terminal of other two users. |

Check permissions on wall, they should be -rwxr-sr-x 1 root tty

who, w, write, wall rely on registration in the utmp data file. Some Linux GUI developers are proud to no longer support this old Unix mechanism. AFAIK ssh still supports it.
Furthermore, ensure there is no mesg n in /etc/profile (or enable it with command mesg y ) |
