Is there any way to broadcast a message to all the current users logged into your Linux box? I'm thinking something like when you shut it down, and it announces that the box is going down. I want to do this without shutting the machine down, and customize the message.

Thanks for the help...

Ok, so that was easy - you can use the 'wall' command...
