Send message from Unix to PC
What is the best way to send message from Unix script to PC users connected to the box ?
I tried "smbclient -M <machine>" but doesn't work. I prefer not to use Samba.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what do you mean by "message" and how the users are connected. In a case they simply have terminal sessions open you can use command "wall".
like that:
wall "Hey I'm taking this machine into maintenance in 5 min, Joe call me 22222"
,
samba is something completely different.

There are more ways to send messages from a UNIX platform to a PC than one can imagine.

Perhaps you should send an email message out of your script.

Red face Message like Winpop
Sorry I should've expain better.
PC users are not logged into the Unix box. Database server is running on the Unix and PC users are connected to the server but they don't have Unix login account. So 'wall' or 'write' won't work.

Email maybe OK but I need something that gets their immediate attention (because the DB server is going down for the backup and they need to be disconnected).
