Is there a way for a system admin to post a message on the desktops of all the

Cheers,
Ron.
If all the desktops are just terminals (text), you could use "wall".
But they're probably not. (?)
You could put the desired announcement in /etc/motd and they would see
it when they log in.
If they all have Tk installed, you could write a bit of code to pop a
window on each machine on the lan, but you would also need access to all
of them.
But I'm going to guess everyone is running GUIs on their desktops and
you don't want to write code, so all I can think of-- and what we've
done at every place I've worked-- is just to send everyone an email.
