    Pity you can't do something like:

    echo "WARNING: REBOOT AT 21:00" > /dev/display/* >> /lib/news

    or something similar. Shouldn't each users display be accessible into
    bootes' namespace for just this sort of stuff.

one word: namespace

2nd work: permissions

plumb/seemail could be a solution though.
