We don't email answers. Post here, read here.

There's no "broadcast". What you are seeing comes from the configuration of your syslog. See "man syslog" and http://aplawrence.com/Words2005/2005_04_14.html

Actually, I see you are talking about a ups: that probably is a broadcast with "wall".

Why WOULDN'T you want a broadcast if you are about to be shut down???



In any event, this doesn't have much to do with anything but whatever you are using for ups software. Some of it has its own scripting capability where you can control what it does, some doesn't. You probably don't know what you have, right?

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
