WALL(1)								       WALL(1)

NAME
       wall - write to all users

SYNOPSIS
       wall

DESCRIPTION
       Wall reads its standard input until an end-of-file.  It then sends this
       message, preceded by `Broadcast Message ...', to all logged in users.

       The sender should be super-user to override any protections  the	 users
       may have invoked.

FILES
       /dev/tty?
       /etc/utmp

SEE ALSO
       mesg(1), write(1)

DIAGNOSTICS
       `Cannot send to ...' when the open on a user's tty file fails.
