How to do 'net send' in linux?
 

hi,
i am new at linux and don't know how to do net send in linux. I have Mandrake 10.0 installed on my comp. Can somebody help me?

for another linux user, you can use write or talk...for windows you'll need to get an application that can communicate with winpopup or messenger. I haven't found a good open source tool to do that yet.

smbclient has net send functionality built it - you can type smbclient -M host -I Sender (where "host" is the host you wish to sen the message to and Sender is the sender as percepted by the receiving host) to send a message.

Using Samba on Linux, we can do a net send to any windows host by using the following command:


smbclient -M [NETBIOS Name] -I [IP Address]

If we do not know the NETBIOS name of the system, we can use the following command to find out:


nmblookup -A [IP Address]

cool....I didn't know about that. Thanks.
