my lord this is ugly - but i am sleepy, so take it or leave it .
there is probably a better solution, however given what comes standard on a unix system (talk, write and wall) - writing a script around 'write' would work... something like the following:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
user=$1 # 1st arg, recipient
file=$2 # 2nd arg, file containing message
if [[ ! -n "${user}" ]]; then
echo "you did not enter a user, aborting"
exit 0
fi
# if no file, enter one line to send
#
if [[ ! -f "${file}" ]]; then
echo "enter a one line message to send to ${user}"
read line
if [[ -n "${line}" ]]; then
echo "${line}" > $0.$$
file=$0.$$
else
echo "you did not enter any text, aborting"
exit 0
fi
fi
# write the file to all sessions of the user
#
for u in $(who | grep "^${user} " | awk '{print $1":"$2}'); do
a=$(echo "${u}" | cut -d: -f1,1)
b=$(echo "${u}" | cut -d: -f2,2)
cat ${file} |write $a $b
done
# remove temp file if exists
#
if [ -f $0.$$ ]; then
rm $0.$$
fi
