WALL(1)

NAME
wall - broadcast a message to all users logged in

SYNOPSIS
wall [message]

DESCRIPTION
wall writes a message to all users currently logged in, just like write(1) writes a message to a number of specific users. If no message is given on the commandline, wall will expect a message on standard input. Wall uses /etc/utmp to decide which users are logged in and where.
