Broadcast to All Logged In Users 1

[tbohon]

On an AIX 5 box, is it possible to send a 'broadcast' message to all logged in users? We have several vendor reps who log in but don't tell us who they are or what they're doing - I'm looking for a way to send them a terminal message as a group to request that information.

Tnx.

I knew there was a command - found write and mesg but this is what I was looking for.

Thanks!!!

Uh, Tom, if you found write, then "man write" should have given you a reference to the wall command under 'SEE ALSO'... ;-)
