communicating wth another user aside from "wall" and "write"
Hi,
Can anyone suggest a Unix command or c-shell algorithm to simulate to behavior of "wall" command minus the "all users"? What I'm trying to do is to send a notice to just one particular user but i dont want other remotely-logged-on users to receive the message (on the pseudo-terminals). I cannot use the "write" command for three reasons:
1. I (sender) will not be typing the message from standard input (instead, i will be using a file
input)
2. I (sender) is not logged in to the same host as the receiver (but the receiver's host is known)
3. I want the message to appear on all terminals of the intended receiver.
Thanks in advance for your ideas...
