Ultrix uses the rwalld program to print messages whenever an NFS server system is being rebooted. However, I can find no documented way to utilize this for my own general-purpose "rwall" needs. Does anyone know how to do this? Is there a publicly available program which interfaces with rwalld? Is the interface documented anywhere? Personally, I could use an rwall program quite frequently. Why doesn't DEC supply one? 99% of the code already exists in rwalld and shutdown... -- Mike Bryan, Applied Computing Devices, 100 N Campus Dr, Terre Haute IN 47802 Phone: 812/232-6051 FAX: 812/231-5280 Home: 812/232-0815 UUCP: uunet!acd4!mjb INTERNET: mjb%acd4@uunet.uu.net "Agony is born of desire; that's what you get for wanting." --- Moev

Does 'echo "server going down" |rsh client wall' There are obviously many script variants that can be tailored to your own systems. hurf -- Hurf Sheldon Network: hurf@ionvax.tn.cornell.edu Lab of Plasma Studies Bitnet: hurf@CRNLION 369 Upson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 ph:607 255 7267 I got a job in science; I bought a Porsche; Now, everyone takes me seriously.
