|
|
.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!
