## NAME

**rwalld**, **rpc.rwalld** – write messages to users currently logged in server

## SYNOPSIS

**rpc.rwalld**

## DESCRIPTION

**rpc.rwalld** is a server which will send a message to users currently logged in to the system. This server invokes the [wall(1)](/wall/1.md) command to actually write the messages to the system.

Messages are sent to this server by the [rwall(1)](/rwall/1.md) command. The **rpc.rwalld** daemon is normally invoked by [inetd(8)](/inetd/8.md).

**rpc.rwalld** uses an RPC protocol defined in */usr/include/rpcsvc/rwall.x*.
