You can go to www.sun.com and download a version of Solaris 8 for Intel machines. They still got the link there i think. Or you could order a set of CD's from the site. About $100 (I think).

If you want UNIX and on a Intel that is the best way. I assume you mean on a Intel based PC.

Or you can purchase a second hand Sun box from places like ebay.com and some come with the OS. or purchase the software on it's own.

Or (as said before) you could use Linux. Not that much difference. Well there is, but basic's are the same.

With what I have said above I assume you want Solaris flavor of Unix.

To be able to help, we really need to know;

- What flavor of Unix?
- What platform you want to run it on?

wall

WALL(1) 							   User Commands							   WALL(1)

NAME

     wall -- write a message to users

SYNOPSIS

     wall [-n] [-t TIMEOUT] [file]

DESCRIPTION

     Wall displays the contents of file or, by default, its standard input, on the terminals of all currently logged in users. The command will
     cut over 79 character long lines to new lines. Short lines are white space padded to have 79 characters. The command will always put carriage
     return and new line at the end of each line.

     Only the super-user can write on the terminals of users who have chosen to deny messages or are using a program which automatically denies
     messages.

     Reading from a file is refused when the invoker is not superuser and the program is suid or sgid.

OPTIONS

     -n, --nobanner
		 Supress banner

     -t, --timeout TIMEOUT
		 Write timeout to terminals in seconds. Argument must be positive integer. Default value is 300 seconds, which is a legacy from
		 time when people ran terminals over modem lines.

     -V, --version
		 Output version and exit.

     -h, --help  Output help and exit.

SEE ALSO

     mesg(1), talk(1), write(1), shutdown(8)
