After 19 views, there were no replies.......... Does this mean that, there are no chances of sending message from one linux pc to another or does this mean that no 1 know how to answer it....

cheers.....

please make your question clear.you want to send messages in a LAN or what??

fruibat_2000 · 08-29-2003, 03:40 AM

try "mesg" if you want to pass messages over a lan

stonegold84 · 08-29-2003, 03:51 AM

yes... In a lan how do you send message?????

we use netsend followed by ipaddress and followed by a message to the neighbour pc.

Like that in a lan how to send message to other linux pc???

I use mandrake linux 9.1.. My friend also uses the same.

How do i send message to him????

cheers.....

Some correction::: We use this in windows....... to send message.....

use 'write' or 'wall'.wall sends the message to all the users logged in.

use the other users login id with write.all the users who has logged in can be seen by 'finger' or 'w' or 'who'.
