If you're running an X server on your Mac (Xorg, XFree86),
then you can use the xmessage(1) tool, with the $DISPLAY
variable set appropriately.  It can even be used to create
simple dialogs (Such as OK / Cancel) that can be used
from shell scripts.

Best regards

The scanf() function is a large and complex beast that often does
something almost but not quite entirely unlike what you desired.

If you ever used earlier versions of Windows, there was 'net send' 
('course, that was Windows to Windows).


I'd like to find something that I can script to send a lan IM, for 
example: Filesystem /var is full!


Getting an IM lets me respond quicker than waiting to read the next 
morning's email.

I assume that Samba needs to be installed and running on sending and  
receiving computers for that to work?  Just tried it from the Mac to  
FreeBSD, and it returned connection to computer failed.
