Is it possible to send a message to connected computers (OS 9 & OS X) from the command line in OS X Server?

There are ways, but the will take some work and software installed on the OS 9 box, and possibly on the OS X boxes.
1st) use the unix "talk" command. Don't recall if the server is running by default on OS X, but the command should be there, to use it it's "talk user@hostname". You'd need to find a talk daemon for OS 9 to use it there.
2nd) if you just need to send a message without the user responding you can use smbclient to send winpop messages. Not sure how OS X and OS 9 handle them, they may need something to do the popup, haven't tried it.
