We did have, have not used it recently, a method of broadcasting a -wall message that poped up an advisory on all locally connected machines. SO the guy in charge of the main server could tell everyone the system was going down for a reboot, or for whatever reason, in 5 minutes. Gave everyone time to finish their current work and get it saved before the system went away from their access. The thing is called "wall", I have the manpage on another screen right now. Would that help? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
