Well if the user if logged in and that too has an active terminal, when you use the command, the text will appear on his/her terminal. See "man write". It won't work across different computers if they are not part of the same system. This means that it will work as you expect it to, only if users are present on different terminals and logged on to the same server. In my experience, such setups are rarer than they used to be. You can open a terminal and try sending a message to yourself, to get a feel of how this will work. _______________________________________________ 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
