Full Discussion: Script that will display a short message
Special Forums UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers Script that will display a short message Post 302413521 by pludi on Friday 16th of April 2010 03:31:02 AM
Old 04-16-2010
I see 2 options here:
1) Put a line in your .profile that will write your current console to a file in /tmp, and have your script read that file
2) Something like this
Code:
who | \
awk -vuser=$USER '$1 == user && $2 !~ /:/ {print "/dev/"$2}' | \
while read term
do
    echo "Hello" > $term
done

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides symbolic names for the ANSI attribute control codes. For each control code a single command is provided which returns
       this code as its result. None of the commands of this package write  to	a  channel;  that  is  handled	by  higher  level  packages,  like
       term::ansi::send.

API

   INTROSPECTION
       ::term::ansi::code::attr::names
	      This command is for introspection. It returns as its result a list containing the names of all attribute commands.

       ::term::ansi::code::attr::import ?ns? ?arg...?
	      This  command imports some or all attribute commands into the namespace ns. This is by default the namespace attr. Note that this is
	      relative namespace name, placing the imported command into a child of the current namespace. By default all commands  are  imported,
	      this can howver be restricted by listing the names of the wanted commands after the namespace argument.
