.TH NSEND 1 03/21/1996 nsend nsend .SH NAME nsend \- Send messages to users .SH SYNOPSIS .B nsend [ .B -h ] [ .B -S .I server ] [ .B -U .I user name ] [ .B -P .I password | .B -n ] [ .B -C ] .I user message .SH DESCRIPTION With .B nsend, you can send messages to the user's workstations. .B nsend looks up the file .I $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons. .SH OPTIONS .B user .RS 3 .B user is the NetWare User-ID of the user to receive the message. .RE .B message .RS 3 .B message is the message to be sent. Please note that this has to be a single command line argument. If you want to send a message that contains spaces, you have to quote them on the command line. For example, to annoy your system administrator, you should try nsend supervisor 'I know how this works!' .RE .B -S .I server .RS 3 .B server is the name of the server you want to use. .RE .B -U .I user name .RS 3 If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs from your unix user-id, you should use .B -U to tell the server about you NetWare user name. .RE .B -P .I password .RS 3 You may want to give the password required by the server on the command line. You should be careful to use passwords in scripts. .RE .B -n .RS 3 .B -n should be given to mount shares which do not require a password to log in. If neither .B -n nor .B -P are given, nsend prompts for a password. .RE .B -C .RS 3 By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by .B -C. .RE .SH BUGS nsend only supports servers with up to 255 connections. I do not know the NCP functions for larger servers. If anybody knows them, please tell me! .SH SEE ALSO .B nwclient(5), nprint(1), slist(1), ncpmount(8), ncpumount(8) .SH CREDITS nsend was written by looking at mars_nwe's message handling.
