If you want to send the message to the user ABCD running GNOME (or
probably {Xfc,KD}E also), while you also logged in as user ABCD via SSH, then
you
can leverage functionality provided by notification-daemon[1].
1. Figure out DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable of ABCD running in GNOME, and
export
it to your environment.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] export `cat /proc/\`pgrep nautilus\`/environ |tr "\0" "\n"
|fgrep DBUS_SESSION`
2. Now use notify-send tool (from libnotify-tools or libnotify package in your
distro) to
send a notification.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] notify-send -u critical 'Message' "This system will be
turned-off in 1 minute"
