Hi. If anyone has used the "net send' utility in Windows, they know wht I'm talking abt. I wanted to know if there is an equivalent utility in Linux. It should be noted that I'm part of a network that consists of Windows machines, so the utility should be interoperable with the Windows ulility. Thanks.

hmm. thx. I'll try them out. Btw, are they bundled with Slackware or do I have to download them seperately?

Code:

echo "Here is a message" | smbclient -M MACHINENAME

That'll do it and you only need Samba installed
