how to send wall/broadcast message to all clients

If you want send message to every user in your system no need to mentation the user.
You have to follow the below command. Message should be enclosed with double or single quote.

Code:
#wall "Message "

It always helps to know what Operating System (with version) and shell you are running. In this case an overview of the communications setup between the servers would also help.

Assuming that each remote host is set up to respond to "rwall", use "rwall". Otherwise assuming that each remote host is set up to respond to "remsh", issue a "wall" from "remsh".
If you have no way of running a unix command on the remote server the task is impossible.
