Hello everbody,
is there a possibility for the administrator to send a message to all users easily? Something like "The system will be restarted in 5 minutes"

Admin Message to all users?

Check mod_announce documentation, or try Ad-hoc commands
Yes, I mention briefly and you can check ejabberd Guide for more details.
mod_announce allows an admin to send messages to all online users, sending a message to the Jabber ID: example.org/announce/online
It is also possible to use mod_announce with Ad-hoc commands. For that your Jabber client must support ad-hoc commands (Psi, Tkabber, Gajim and maybe other clients too).
And finally, in ejabberd 2.0.0 (and newer), mod_configure provides Ad-hoc commands to stop and restart the server and send a message to all online users.
