Public bug reported: I am not seeing the wall message when issuing systemctl reboot. According to the documentation, "systemctl reboot" is supposed to send a wall message (There is even a --no-wall option to suppress the broadcast message!). But the message is not coming at all.
Present behaviour: root@abc:~# systemctl reboot Connection to abc closed by remote host. Connection to abc closed. Expected behaviour: root@abc:~# systemctl reboot Broadcast message from root@abc (/dev/pts/4) at 12:44 ... The system is going down for reboot NOW! root@abc:~# Connection to abc closed by remote host. Connection to abc closed.
