NAME

     rpc.rwalld -- write messages to users currently logged in server

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/libexec/rpc.rwalld [-n]

DESCRIPTION

     The rpc.rwalld utility is a server which will send a message to users currently logged in to the system.  This server invokes the wall(1)
     command to actually write the messages to the system.

     The following option is available:

     -n      Do not become a daemon.  This option is only available when rpc.rwalld is not invoked by inetd(8).

     Messages are sent to this server by the rwall(1) command.	The rpc.rwalld daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

     The rpc.rwalld utility uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rwall.x.

DIAGNOSTICS

     rwall: RPC: Program not registered
             The rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Timed out
             A communication error occurred.  Either the network is excessively congested, or the rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has terminated on the
             remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
             The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ), and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
             down.
