    • ]]>     Why do we send message over linux console? We can send message using our favorite messenger. That’s right. But, imagine if you are working in a linux machine using a console and want to talk to another user without moving from your console. To do this, you can use a command named write.

    Ummm… how if I want to know who’s accessing a linux machine? You can use command who. Ok how to use write command? It’s easy.

    write user [ttyname]

    Example:

    $write dani
Hi.. how u doin?
You need to sign the contract.

    You can write your message in the new line. If you want to stop it, you may use Ctrl+C.

    What will appear in user dani?
