while i am not certain what your end goal is, rpc.walld is
a cool program, it won't do a popup(as far as i know) but it can
broadcast a message out to connected servers on a network. i
didn't even know it existed until i saw it in action on one of my
sun boxes, a NFS server broadcasted to the clients that it was
shutting down. pretty neat (to me).

i am not sure how(or if) to send a message using it ..
