Title:
  shutdown -h/-r now "wall message" message does not send wall

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  As far as I know, shutdown command (and other reboot/poweroff/halt
  commands) are now just alias for systemctl which inits the right
  target, so I am reporting this bug to systemd package.

  I noted a strange thing : shutdown -h now "wall message" do not send
  the wall message, but shutdown -h +<any_value> does.

  I conduct this test in TTY also, it seems that when the timer is "now" (or +0), the wall is sent after shuting down services like OpenSSH, so users logged in cannot see it.
  When the time value is +1 or more, the wall is properly displayed.

  Step to reproduce :

  Ubuntu Version : 15.04 from a fresh Released install (seems to not be
  the case in 14.10 where systemd is not completely used, as all
  shutdown/halt/poweroff/reboot commands are symlink to reboot and not
  "systemctl").

  - sudo shutdown -r now "This is a maintenance reboot as we discuss earlier, server will be back in few seconds."
  -> No one of my logged user saw this notice

  - sudo shutdown -r +3 "This is an unscheduled URGENT maintenance. Please save your work and prepare to immediate reboot in 3 minutes"
  -> It's working.

  Regards,
