Broadcasting a message?
I want to send out a message to all users, in certain groups, logged into a server. I tried using the wall command so either I'm not using it improperly or it is not the correct way to do it. What I want to do is send out a message to all users on a server (using gui not a terminal) and have that pop-up (like the javascript pop-up widows) appear for people on the gui! I know it is possible but I don't know how do do it!
This is what you need. It does not exist as built-in command in Unix.

rwall servername
rwall -h servername -n netgroup
I like using it as a pipe.
Try it and let me know.
