Server wide messaging command?

Postby ZiaTioN » Sat Apr 12, 2003 2:37 am

I know that there is a command to send serve messages to all users that are logged in at the time but have forgot what it is, does anyone know?

I am not talking about ytalk or any of the actual instant messaging apps, just the built in command to send server messages.

Thanx in advance.

just type:
wall [message]

or, you could do what i did at first before i knew of the command wall and use the shutdown command, but make sure to give it the parameter to fake it
