talk command to chat
Hi,
Could you please advice on the following query:
There are 2 users on a unix box:
1. aaaa
2. bbbb
I open 2 putty sessions and login with the above 2 users.
Then I type the following using the aaaa user to chat with bbbb.
talk bbbb
or
talk bbbb@hostname
Result: the screen goes blank?
Any ideas, please?
Regards,
Girish.

DCOP(1) DCOP(1)
NAME
dcop - Console DCOP client
SYNOPSIS
dcop [--pipe] [--user user] [--all-users] [--session session] [--all-sessions] [--list-sessions] [--no-user-time] [application [object
[function [arguments]]]]
DESCRIPTION
Console DCOP client
OPTIONS
--pipe Call DCOP for each line read from stdin.
This is roughly equivalent to calling while read line ; do dcop $line ; done but because no new dcop instance has to be started for
each line this is generally much faster, especially for the slower GNU dynamic linkers.
--user user
Connect to the given user's DCOP server. This option will ignore the values of the environment vars $DCOPSERVER and $ICEAUTHORITY,
even if they are set.
If the user has more than one open session, you must also use one of the --list-sessions, --session or --all-sessions command-line
options.
--all-users
Send the same DCOP call to all users with a running DCOP server. Only failed calls to existing DCOP servers will generate an error
message. If no DCOP server is available at all, no error will be generated.
--session session
Send to the given KDE session. This option can only be used in combination with the --user option.
--all-sessions
Send to all sessions found. Only works with the --user and --all-users options.
--list-sessions
List all active KDE sessions for a user or all users.
--no-user-time
Don't update the user activity timestamp in the called application (for use in scripts running in the background).
ENVIRONMENT
DCOPSERVER
ICEAUTHORITY
