I've looked into 'talk' and 'write', I was looking for something similar the way shutdown work's: 'shutdown -r now "The system is going for a reboot"'

Any advise on a way to accomplish this goal of mine?

Thank you, Tarts.

Hi Tarts

I hope you're doing well. Apologies for delay in replying.

Did you try using the below command to find out the right syntax?

Code:

man wall

Why not? He still might be on the look out for the right answer.

He got the right answer answer in post #2 and confirmed that it worked on post #3, more that 14 years ago.

Next time, please read previous answers before posting yours.

Welcome to this forum anyway.
