What terminals, user interfaces, or client programs are they using?

What work would they have open?

There are many commands like wall, write, and talk. Wall is the default command use to send broadcast message to unix user.

Wall just writes a message to logged on terminals.

ok sorry to be more specific. I am running solaris 9 on sunblade 1500. I need a pop up box with an ok radial on it like on windows that states the system is going down when a system amdinistrator sends the shutdown command to the remote box. the software that the operators are using has no part in this dialog box. I want solaris 9 OS to handle the dialog box. does that make sense a little bit? if not sorry


ie.
This System will be going down for maintenance in 30 seconds please save all work and press ok.

Are the clients using X-terminals?
