wall(1) can send a message to terminals (people at virtual consoles,
ssh sessions, etc.). you'd have to make sure you have write access to
the terminal (via either mesg, chmod, or superuser privilege) in order
to do this.
messages can be sent to an X display using xmessage -file %s. of
course, X authorization will have to be appropriately arranged.
your <some command> could in fact be a shell script which runs wall
and loops through all local X displays, running xmessage.

This is more likely than not a filesystem permissions problem.
