Tim,
Thanks for the feedback. ?I am the only user (standalone system), but I checked
'mesg' and made sure it was set?to 'mesg y' . ? And the execute
permissions for wall are ? rwxr-sr-x ?and the filename is has a ?kind of orange
highlightedbackground. Don't know what that means.

Any chance someone put 'mesg n' in the system profiles? That wou;d
suppress wall output. Try typing just 'mesg' and see what it says . . .
otherwise, check permissions on wall perhaps . . .

Good to hear!

Not sure if you mentioned, but if you run something like "echo hi |
wall", does it broadcast a message? If not, I'd say that's a bug in
wall, but you could configure upsmon to run a different program to send a
message.
