Operating Systems Linux Red Hat [help] how to send wall/broadcast message to all clients Post 302367491 by methyl on Monday 2nd of November 2009 09:27:10 PM

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.
