NSEND(1)

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 worksta-
       tions.

       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 system 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
          password.

       -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  any-
       body knows them, please tell me!
