Question Banner command
Hey all,

I want to use the banner/echo command to write messages on different console windows.

I knew that before, but I completely forget how to do it ! I just remenber that /dev/pts/# is the number of the window. and it's useful.

It would be great if someone knows how to solve my problem.

Don't know if this is what you need, but I think the command is write(1), not banner(1)

Thanks, that's actually a possiblity !!

I just found the solution of my problem, the syntax to send a single message on an other terminal even if it's not yours is
$ banner hello >/dev/pts/#
where # is the number of the terminal.

I forget to say one thing,
To get the number of the terminal, use the who command.

long life for unix
