Hi Group ,
I m trying to execute commands on some other system using write command but inspite of executing the commands they r passed as simple messages.

- i m writing

>write user-id
! ls
o
ctrl-d

inspite of executing the command ls,other terminal shows ! ls.

Thnx in advance.

your commands or sequence of characters would be interpreted only as messages to be executed by write command on a particular tty

even if you try,

Code:

echo "ls" > /dev/pts/3

it would be taken only as a message to tty-3 and not as a command

According to our rules:

Trying to execute a command on someone else's terminal raises security concerns so I will close this thread.
