Not that one (before) but those notification daemons tend to require the

So root can't easily send notifications for other users.
Yes, but if you want to ditch "wall" then you could try to play with
this code in your script:
uid=1000 gid=1000
setpriv --reuid "$uid" --regid "$gid" --init-groups \
env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/"$uid" DISPLAY=:0 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
fyi TEST test
Of course you have to change 1000 if your user id is different, the "id"
command will tell you which value of uid and gid to use. Also the
DISPLAY value matters. Here it works, but I'm on KDE+X11, not Wayland sorry.
Unlike the "wall" command, you will have to write a "setpriv" command
for each user you want to notify if something goes wrong in the script.
Kind regards.
