wall -- send a message to everybody's terminal.
SYNOPSIS
wall
[-n]
[ message ]
DESCRIPTION

sends a message to everybody logged in with their
mesg(1)
permission
set to

The message can be given as 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).
The length of the message is limited to 20 lines.
For every invocation of
wall
a notification will be written to syslog, with facility

ignores the
TZ
variable - the time printed in the banner is based on the system's
local time.
