NAME

xwall - send a message to X display  

SYNOPSIS

xwall [-display display] [-user user] [-timeout timeout]  

DESCRIPTION

The xwall program reads its standard input until an EOF. It then sends this message to the X display.  

OPTIONS

The xwall program accepts the following options:
-display display
This option gives the name of the X display where the message should appear. If not specified, the ``DISPLAY'' environment variable is used.
-timeout timeout
This option sets the time in seconds that xwall waits before deciding that it cannot deliver the message. The default value is 15 seconds.
-user user
This option causes xwall to assume the identity of the named user. This allows xwall to connect with an X display that is running user level authorization.
