SEX! or, how do I mail to a lot of unix users?

[Brian Fenske]

I don't know if this command is available on all versions of UNIX but on our
Sequent you can use the "users" command to produce a string of usernames.
If joe, fred, bob and scooter are logged in, users produces

joe fred bob scooter

You could then just say

mail `users` < message
