It has been many years since I was in a role where I needed to advise logged-in Users of a system shutdown or reboot.
Back then, there was little GUI and the Users would receive a warning in the terminal window.
Since then, I have been aware of a method where Windows Users can receive notifications in the GUI that the system was going down for a reboot or for servicing.
In Unix/Linux, it was -- back then -- simply a matter of issuing:
shutdown -r +5 "Server will restart in 5 minutes. Please save your work."
However, I see that does not pop up a warning wall message for GUI Users, at least in Plasma on Leap 42.1
Is there another way?
wall (1) - write a message to all users is is provided in util-linux another quite old application. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
