Re: [SLUG] splash messages to another user using vnc

I'm assuming you're talking about having popups on a linux terminal.
(There's some mechanism with smbclient to do this with windows.) For
*nix, you can use xmessage (man xmessage), but you'll need to have
access rights to the X-server you want to pop ups on. Check your
distro's documentation on enabling that.

Thus spake patrick grantham on the 25 day of the 06 month in the year 2002:

Outlook is as attractive to email viruses as a heap of dead and rotting cows is to a fly. So long as that maggot-filled pile of corpses is there, swatting at the flies isn't going to work. Alan Bellingham, SDM
