Is there an equivalent for net send in linux ? not like normal write or talk but where a popup message appears when we send the message to another remote pc

you can use smbclient to send a popup to a windows machine. if you have access to an X server you could use xmessage to pop up a message on it.

as i said above

if you have access to an X server you could use xmessage to pop up a message on it.

but you need to have access to the apprpriate display, there is as far as i know no other way of doing it without running an apprpriate server at which point you might as well run an im client of sort.
