I can only think of 4 notification methods, but perhaps others can come up with better ones: wall instantaneous, ephemeral and local email instantaneous, persistent and potentially global /etc/motd displayed at login but, after that, would need to be checked /etc/issue displayed before login but, after that, would need to be checked Personally I always print through scripts which makes the problem trivial, but I understand this is not everyone's way of working..
