wall-notify(1)
==============

NAME
----

wall-notify - receive wall messages and pass them to a notification program


SYNOPSIS
--------

*wall-notify* ['-X'] ['-m'] ['-v'] 'cmd' ['args']..


DESCRIPTION
-----------

*wall-notify* receives *wall* messages and passes them to the notification
program 'cmd' and its arguments via stdin. For each received message a new
instance of 'cmd' is created.


OPTIONS
-------

*-X*::
    Quit when the current X session terminates. By default *wall-notify* keeps
    running. This option is intended for `~/.xinitrc` to prevent stale
    *wall-notify* processes when the user logs out. Requires a running X
    server.

*-m*::
    Receive messages from all users. Works similar to *mesg y*. By default
    only messages from root are allowed. Be careful when using this option, it
    might be abused by local users to send fake messages.

*-v*::
    Display version.
