For Linux or Windows? For windows use "net send * "message goes here". For Linux see "man wall". Use the wall command, type your message, and then hit CTRL-D on an empty line. Niall -----Original Message----- From: Phil Buckley [mailto:phil at 1918.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 1:19 PM To: discuss at Blu.Org Subject: Broadcasting over a network At a previous job, the MIS department would sometimes send out a broadcast message that would pop up as a dialog box on the windows machines. You know, something like "Server will be going down in 5 minutes". I would like to do that at my small company but have no idea about how to start. Is there something that needs to be installed on the client side? I don't even really know what howto to look at for guidance. Any pointers??
