NAME

     rwall -- send a message to users logged on a host


SYNOPSIS

     rwall host [file]


DESCRIPTION

     The rwall command sends a message to the users logged into the specified
     host.  The message to be sent can be typed in and terminated with EOF or
     it can be in a file.


DIAGNOSTICS

     rwall: RPC: Program not registered
             The rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Timed out
             A communication error occurred.  Either the network is exces-
             sively congested, or the rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has terminated on
             the remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
             The remote host is not running the portmapper (see rpcbind(8)),
             and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
             down.
