Messaging users who are logged on ...

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, this deals with an AIX box, but the script should run for/on
my LINUX users as well.

I need to "interrupt" telnet users with a message.
This means, saving their screen, writing a message, having
them acknowledge it somehow and the resuming their screen
image.

I can pretty much get to the point where I have all the user ID's
and pts/x 's in a list in the script, now which "write" command can
do that ?


Thanks ...
