Hello Aby,
both 'wall' and 'write' are commands that you can issue through a terminal. The best way to get information is to read the 'man'-pages. Open a terminal and type 'man wall' or 'man write' and you will get all the information that you need. To make it easy, I can narrow it down here for you (but then you have to promise to adopt a kitten and name it after me!) Open a terminal and use the command 'who' to see who's online: Code:
wim@nerdypc:~$ who If I want to write something to 'nerd', then I just issue the command: Code:
wim@nerdypc:~$ write nerd Nerd will have received something as follows: Code:
nerd@nerdypc:~$ justinthemiddleofsomething.sh Now, the command wall is to broadcast to all users currently logged in on a terminal session of the computer. So to broadcast (you might need to be superuser, depending on the user regulations), I do the following: Code:
wim@nerdypc:~$ wall Code:
geek@nerdypc:~$ justinthemiddleofsomething.sh So, to re-cap: 'write' is to send a message to a single user and the message gets sent every time you press the 'enter' button. 'wall' is used for broadcasting and the complete message gets sent at once at the end. Besides that, I used to know of the command 'talk' . The recipient has to issue a command as well to accept the talk-invitation and then you will be in some sort of inbuilt chat-system that takes up the whole screen, one user can (in realtime) type at the bottom, the other at the top-half. Hope this helps. Kind greetings, Wim |
