Common "chat" commands in Linux

When we use the "who" or "w" command on a Linux terminal, we will always see a long list of users. At this time, do you really want to send a message to him/her. If she is a long-time-honored MM, and you see her, she is also shy. Do you want to send a message to her and say "hello, you are also there ".

Hey hey, are you looking forward to it? Let's introduce several commands to let you send them to her or him.

 

 

Write: send messages to other users in the system.

Usage:

Write + User Name

Write + username @ terminal number

End input: ctrl + d

Example:

Write Jack sends a message to Jack. If Jack is not online, a message is returned.

Hello, Jack enters the content to be sent

Ctrl + d stop sending and exit

Write Jack @ pts/1 sends a message to Jack. If Jack is not online, a prompt is returned.

Hello, enter the content to be sent.

Ctrl + d stop sending and exit

PS:

How can I view the terminal number?

Enter "w ". Then, check the "tty" option.

 

 

Wall: send messages to all login users of the system.

Usage:

Wall + what you want to say

Example:

Wall I love you

 

 

Talk: communicate with online users

Usage:

Talk + User Name

Talk + username @ terminal number

Example:

Talk Jack sends a message to Jack. If Jack is not online, a message is returned.

Hello, Jack enters the content to be sent

Ctrl + c stop sending and exit

Talk Jack @ pts/1 sends a message to Jack. If Jack is not online, a prompt is returned.

Hello, enter the content to be sent.

Mesg: used to control whether a user can send messages (that is, whether the message can be sent using the write command). Of course, the root user is not limited by this restriction.

Usage:

Mesg + y allows users to send messages

Mesg + n does not allow users to send messages
