Tknwmesg is a extension for ncpfs for linux that allows users to recived messages
|
|
while under an X console.
|
|
|
|
Essentially it is an extension for nwmsg that comes with ncpfs. The only
|
|
changes are a system() call to a tk script that will run a dialog with an "ok"
|
|
button under X.
|
|
|
|
-- INSTALLATION --
|
|
TCL/TK must be installed on your system. If they are not then you will have to
|
|
get the source for their installation if you want to run tkmesg.
|
|
|
|
- Download ncpfs from sunsite.unc.edu
|
|
- Run "su" to become root if you are not already root.
|
|
- Unpack ncpfs in a temporary directory.
|
|
- copy the Tknwmsg nwmsg.c to util/nwmsg.c in your ncpfs directory.
|
|
- copy tknwmsg to /usr/bin
|
|
- change to your nwmsg directory.
|
|
- run "make all;make install" and the new version of tknwmsg will be
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
-- USE --
|
|
|
|
- At least 1 terminal on the local system must be have "mesg y". Else
|
|
no GUI dialog will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
Using mesg y in a .bashrc will not work. The only way that I have
|
|
found to do this is to have chmod a+w /dev/ttyp? in Xsession or
|
|
$HOME/.xsession. Also it may be necessary to have .bashrc do the
|
|
same thing if users are starting and stopping xterms.
