rwall(3RPC)						       RPC Library Functions						       rwall(3RPC)

NAME

       rwall - write to specified remote machines

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lrpcsvc [ library ... ]
       #include <rpc/rpc.h>
       #include <rpcsvc/rwall.h>

       enum clnt_stat rwall(char *host, char *msg);

PROTOCOL

       /usr/include/rpcsvc/rwall.x

DESCRIPTION

       These routines require that the rpc.rwalld(1M) daemon be configured and available on the remote system indicated by host.

       rwall()	executes  wall(1M)  on	host.  The   rpc.rwalld process on  host prints msg to all users logged on to that system. rwall() returns
       RPC_SUCCESS if it was successful; otherwise a enum clnt_stat is returned which can be displayed using clnt_perrno(3NSL).

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 excessively 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 portmap(8) ), and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
             down.
