Among the 8 virtual desktops I'm using, I have 18 terminals open right now.
I change some of my user configuration (e.g. put a new alias into ~/.bashrc); but in order to use this new added alias, I have to source the config file:
That's all good, but the sourcing stays local to the current terminal. Is there a way to source my .bashrc on ALL open terminals, so that I can use it from any one of them?
I know I can echo into any terminal
But is there a way to run a command like this?
Something like
I'm running bash on CentOS box.

WALL(1) User Commands WALL(1)NAME
wall -- write a message to users
SYNOPSIS
wall [-n] [-t TIMEOUT] [file]
DESCRIPTION
Wall displays the contents of file or, by default, its standard input, on the terminals of all currently logged in users. The command will
cut over 79 character long lines to new lines. Short lines are white space padded to have 79 characters. The command will always put carriage
return and new line at the end of each line.
Only the super-user can write on the terminals of users who have chosen to deny messages or are using a program which automatically denies
messages.
Reading from a file is refused when the invoker is not superuser and the program is suid or sgid.
OPTIONS -n, --nobanner
Supress banner
-t, --timeout TIMEOUT
Write timeout to terminals in seconds. Argument must be positive integer. Default value is 300 seconds, which is a legacy from
time when people ran terminals over modem lines.
-V, --version
Output version and exit.
-h, --help Output help and exit.
