Code:

read MESSAGE
echo "\nEnter user(s): "
read LOGNAMES
at -k $TIME << EOF
for NAME in $LOGNAMES
     do
     echo $MESSAGE | write $NAME$
     DONE
EOF

NAME needs to be a variable in the script and not expanded when the script is written to at. So, if you escape it /$NAME that will put it literally in the script ($NAME) and not what name contains (which is nothing). Drop the last dollar sign.

The only other problem I see is that DONE should be lower case. That might just be a cut/paste issue; hard to say from this end.

With those changes it should send you mail with the list of names (I'd use echo to avoid errors if the list is empty).

Have a go with those changes -- you're a lot closer than you think!
