Title:
  [wishlist] desktop notification support for wall

Status in “libnotify” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  wall is an old, well-known unix utility for a system administrator to
  broadcast a message to users, on the command line.

  It would be nice if messages posted to 'wall' were also displayed to
  desktop users via notify-osd.

  I'm not entirely sure if it would be better for wall.c to link against
  and use libnotify, or if the notify-osd daemon should handle messages
  broadcast via wall.  Either way, this would be a nice thing to have.
  I'll file against both packages for now.
