if your PDC is an Linux-Samba-Server and the clients have active connections:

int_samba_version=`smbd -V | cut -d" " -f2`

status=`smbstatus -b \
               | grep -vi "Samba version $int_samba_version" \
               | grep -vi "PID     Username  Machine                       Time logged in" \
               | grep -vi "-" | grep '[1-9]' | cut -c19-48`

if [ "$status" = "" ]
then
       echo
       echo "No Samba Client activ"
       echo
       exit 1
else
       echo
       for i in $status
       do
              echo sending message to "$i" ...
              echo $message|smbclient -U "eisfair Samba Server" -M "$i" 1> /dev/null
              if [ "$?" != "0" ]
              then
	     echo
	     echo "Sending Message to $i failed!" br x br
              fi
       done
fi
