The 'wall' command is used to send a message to all users on the system. You can put the text of what you want each user to see in a file, or you can type the message in line by line and then send it.
To send the contents of a file to each user, use the command:
wall filename
to send a message and type the contents at the same time, type:
wall
first line of text
second line of text
...
^D
to send it.
