>"write" can be used. But it does send messages on different computers. It is for users on the same system but different terminals. -- Aditya Manthramurthy B. Tech, CSE NIT Trichy -----------------
Thank you, Aditya Manthramurthy !!! I tried write command like $ write verman there was a error saying "write: verman is not logged in" can you give me some examples on write. thanks, Verman ----------------------- What is this? At least give a 2 line description of what it does to give us an idea what you are looking for. Don't assume everyone knows lan messenger. -- Arun Khan Greetings Arun Khan !!! I thought that everyone know about LAN (Local Area Network), but without knowing "LAN" there is no use of learning "wall" command. since you don't know what is LAN, I can explain you. LAN means "Local Area Network". Messenger means "messaging program, designed for use within a single local area network". In windows, there is a console utility called NET SEND, by which we can send messages to other users, computers, or messaging names on the local area network. eg. c:\>net send 10.0.0.10 Happy birthday to you the message sucessfully send to 10.0.0.10 Here "Happy birthday to you" is the message and 10.0.0.10 is the IP-address of my friend. Likewise, Is there is any command in linux. With "wall" we can send a message to everybody in the LAN. my question,Is there is command in GNU/Linux where I can send messages to a particular user or hostname. Here user referred to "user working in the computer" or hostname referred to the "computer name". Can you tell me the GNU/Linux command, where I can send messages to a particular user or hostname? ----------------- > Is there any command to send messages to a particular user or > > hostname. user - email? host - rexec? what do you mean by email? & rexec? At least give a 2 line description, what does it mean? thanks, Verman _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
