About the opcwall Command
The command-line utility opcwall(1) enables you to notify all running
OVO GUIs of an imminent automated backup.
This command accepts the following options:
opcwall {-user }
Name of the operator you want to receive the
message.
Text of the message you want the operator to see.
-user If not specified, all operators receive the message.
For example, you can configure opcwall to inform users ten minutes
before the backup is scheduled to start so that, if they want to continue to
work, they can use the Java GUI for the duration of the backup.
