is there a command to send all terminals a message. i tired wall, but it only sends the message to who ever is logged in at a terminal. i need a command to send to every terminal no matter if someone is logged in or not.
Thanks!

SEE ALSO inetd(1M), listen(1M), pmadm(1M), sacadm(1M), wall(1M), attributes(5)NOTES
The timeout is fairly short to allow transmission to a large group of machines (some of which may be down) in a reasonable amount of time.
Thus the message may not get through to a heavily loaded machine.
