Comment 0 for bug 1887126

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@jdm:~# 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.

Version Details:
root@abc:~# cat /etc/os-release
