I've traced back the man page for the 'wall' command back to Solaris 2.4 (the oldest I could find online [1994]). This too had the '-a' option to also send messages to pseudo terminals, instead of just the console window. So I guess it has always been like that and for our purpose it would probably be sufficient to use 'wall -a' instead of 'wall' if we detect a Solaris system. @Huge: Could you post a diff for the change you made?
