The TELL command, mentioned in previous sections, does not send its message to sessions in quiet mode. The WARN command, however, sends its message to all sessions, including those in quiet mode.

Warn users two minutes before shutting down the system. Enter:

   :WARN @S;SYSTEM SHUTDOWN IN 2 MINUTES.  LOG OFF.
