I would do it the way wizard suggests...
First, I would make a list of all terminal devices, then read from that list and echo a message:
You might want to leave your terminal out of the list, do you're screen doesn't get interrupted, and maybe also send out a wall message to everyone logged in first, so their terminal doesn't get screwed up right before they have to log out.
let's say in my office i have 20 networked sun boxes named host1 through host20. i am currently logged in as root at some random machine, which we will say host13 for this scenario's sake. now, is there any way i can send a text message of some sort over the whole network to all logged in...

So I've been tasked with creating a shell script to run in a cron every few minutes to check duplex settings on my eth0 nic card. I would like for the server to send a wall message to whoever is on the console or in a terminal session. Below is what I have so far.

I do have a question about the great cyber wall of certain countries, like the UK for example. For years I just fetched once a week a public podcast that recently answered "notukerror", by chance I read just this weekend on slashdot about this topic.

ul
ul(1) User Commands ul(1)NAME
ul - do underlining
SYNOPSIS
ul [-i] [-t terminal] [filename]...
DESCRIPTION
ul reads the named filenames (or the standard input if none are given) and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which
indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the environment variable TERM. ul uses the /usr/share/lib/terminfo entry to
determine the appropriate sequences for underlining. If the terminal is incapable of underlining, but is capable of a standout mode then
that is used instead. If the terminal can overstrike, or handles underlining automatically, ul degenerates to cat(1). If the terminal can-
not underline, underlining is ignored.
OPTIONS -t terminal Override the terminal kind specified in the environment. If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. If the
terminal name is not found, no underlining is attempted.
-i Indicate underlining by a separate line containing appropriate dashes `-'; this is useful when you want to look at the
underlining which is present in an nroff(1) output stream on a CRT-terminal.
RETURN VALUES
ul returns exit code 1 if the file specified is not found.
FILES
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/*
