rwall(1)							      rwall(1)

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

OPTIONS
       Send  the  broadcast  message to the specified network groups.  Specify
       the hostname, the name of the host.

DESCRIPTION
       The rwall command reads a message from  standard	 input	until  end-of-
       file. It then sends the following message to all users logged in on the
       specified host machines, preceded by the line:

       Broadcast Message ...

       With the -n option, it sends to the specified network groups.

       Note, 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.

       A  remote  host only responds if it is running the rwalld daemon, which
       is normally started up from inetd(8).

       Commands: inetd(8), rwalld(8)
