mandrake 10.0
is ther any command or packages for popup message.

rwall and wall are not usefull.

IS THERE ANY GRAPHICAL POPUP SOFTWARE.

Take a look at kdialog if you are using kde or the more generic xmessage.

There is also gmessage as well, I know in Arch it's a seperate package on AUR but you might already hvae it depending on your distro. If you use GNOME/GTK rather than KDE/Qt, you could have a look at gtk-server as well which will let you create all kinds of GTK widgets from shell scripts etc.

the popup up message should be in a remote system that running kde or gnome.
i know the IP address of the remote system.
#kdialog --msgbox "hai"

working in my system.
i want to display this in remote system.
is there any option for that to specify the IP address.

or could u please give me the shell script for that?

Does the remote system have sshd running? You could pretty easily write a shell script to login via ssh and then run that command which would pop up the dialog on the remote desktop

i am not expert in that?
and it should ask me for the ip address of the system?

so please any one give me the shell code ?

kdialog will take a --display argument that will let you choose which X server to display it on.

sir i have this error.


[root@localhost staff]# kdialog --display 10.255.240.102
kdialog: cannot connect to X server 10.255.240.102

[root@localhost staff]# kdialog --display 10.255.240.102:0

[root@localhost staff]# kdialog --display 10.255.240.102:1

You will need to allow connections on the other X server.

On the destination machine run:
xhost +ip.of.your.machine

That will allow your machine to connect to the machine with the X server.

sir please look this result.

i want to popup the message in my system alone.

it is also not working.

THIS IS M SYSTEM.WHY NOT WORKING?

Is your X server listening for tcp connections?
netstat -nlp | grep 600

yes


[staff@localhost staff]$ netstat -nlp | grep 600
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
[staff@localhost staff]$

is any one help me for remote message?

Well, if the server is listening and you have allowed it with xhost, I can only assume it is a firewall problem.

Do you have any firewall rules in place:
iptables -nL
