RE: [cobalt-users] Admin terminal message

["Colin J. Raven" <cjraven@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can also send messages to anyone logged in to your machine via "wall"
( which could be taken to mean [w]rite all)
type "wall" (absent parens) and hit return
type your message hit return
Hit ^D (Control+D)
You're done. Anyone logged in to a shell gets whatever you just typed in
instantly.
