Subject: sending a message to multiple users

Hi,
How may I send the same message system wide to all users?  I guess I'm
asking, how do I create a list of all of the users in the system without
keying in their names one-by-one?  Any help would be appreciated.

Ask your sysadmin.

This is often a "if you don't know how, you shouldn't be doing it"
question, and most sysadmins do not want these types of messages going to
all the users on the system, which puts a burden on the mail system.

If you are the sysadmin, then you should have easy access to an entire
userlist, but would still probably be better off using an /etc/motd file
rather than system wide email.
