NAME
nsend - Send messages to users
SYNOPSIS
nsend [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password
| -n ] [ -C ] user message
DESCRIPTION
With nsend, you can send messages to the user's workstations.
nsend looks up the file $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.
OPTIONS
user
user is the NetWare User-ID of the user to receive the
message.
message
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 sys‐
tem administrator, you should try
nsend supervisor 'I know how this works!'
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user name
If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you
differs from your unix user-id, you should use -U to tell
the server about your NetWare user name.
-P password
You may want to give the password required by the server
on the command line. You should be careful about using
passwords in scripts.
-n
-n should be given to mount shares which do not require a
password to log in.
If neither -n nor -P are given, nsend prompts for a pass‐
word.
-C
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 -C.
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!
