Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

-M NetBIOS name
This options allows you to send messages, using the "WinPopup"
protocol, to another computer. Once a connection is established
you then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.
If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will
receive the message and probably a beep. If they are not running
WinPopup the message will be lost, and no error message will
occur.
The message is also automatically truncated if the message is
over 1600 bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol.
One useful trick is to cat the message through smbclient. For
example: cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED will send the
message in the file mymessage.txt to the machine FRED.
You may also find the -U and -I options useful, as they allow
you to control the FROM and TO parts of the message.
See the message command parameter in the smb.conf(5) for a
description of how to handle incoming WinPopup messages in
Samba.
Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if
you want them to always be able to receive messages.
