        wall [-n] [ message ]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Wall  sends  a  message  to everybody logged in with their

        an  argument to wall, or it can be sent to wall's standard
        input. When using the standard input from a terminal,  the
        message  should  be  terminated  with the EOF key (usually
        Control-D).

               "Remote  broadcast  message"  This  option  is only
               available to root, and is used by rpc.walld.
