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

DESCRIPTION
       rwall reads a message from standard input until EOF. It then sends this
       message, preceded by the line:

	   Broadcast Message ...

       to all users logged in on the specified	host  machines.	 With  the  -n
       option, it sends to the specified network groups.

OPTIONS
       -n netgroup
		      Send  the	 broadcast  message  to	 the specified network
		      groups.

       -h hostname
		      Specify the hostname, the name of the host machine.

SEE ALSO
       inetd(1M), listen(1M), pmadm(1M), sacadm(1M), wall(1M), attributes(5)

NOTES
       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.
