Question WRITE a message in console
Hi all,

I have a requirement, where I need to do some calculations and based on the results I need to write a message to the user from a shell script.

Is it possible to `write' inside the script? Something like the below one..

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

write user12 << EOF
Hello World
<<EOF

For me, it produced an error.

Code:
wrt[6]: here document `EOF' unclosed

Any idea please?
