Changing your runlevel to 1 (single user mode) with [tt]init 1[/tt] would only allow root to login. //Daniel

sco21 was serious.
Wall "Bye suckers" sends a broadcast message to all logged on users. You might want to use:
wall "You are now being logged off. Bye"
This might be better.
wall "You will be logged off in 60 seconds." | sleep 60 | /sbin/init 1

It might work too.

Best command to use is "shutdown"....
Check the man page for it. It will warn all users that the system is going down at a particular time or in a particular interval. It will stop anyone else logging in during that time then kick the users off at the appropriate moment. Without using the -r option (reboot) or -h (halt) it will change the system to run level 1 at the given time.
So:
shutdown 22:30 "Please log off for system maintenence"
will have everyone see:
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Sat Feb 15 22:05:00 2003):
Please log off for system maintenence
The system is going DOWN to maintenance mode in 25 minutes!
and there will be successive messages during that period.

Nah.
wall "Bye Suckers" | sleep 2 | init 1
is the simplest solution.
