I just used `shutdown -h +6 The system is going down now, please
logoff.` as root, in a terminal window. It prints the message in the
terminal window every minute, along with its own default message. But it
will not cause a Gnome window to open up with the message.
I discovered that even if you close the terminal window, the shutdown
will still take place at the scheduled time.

I would like to send an alert about a system change or an alert to all gnome

What is the equivalent to the wall function that pops up a window in kde or
gnome with the message in a window that must be acknowledged.
KDE, at least 3.5, acknowledges standard wall messages, though i was not forced.
But regular wall isn't forced either.
I am not sure any current OS has mandatory remotely sent messaging.
