[Techtalk] Command line communication with other users on server

[Adric Net]

Hi,

talk(1) was later re-implemented as eg ytalk(1), so check your

to see what features might be available..

Usually I only want one way talk, so I just find the (p)ty of their  
bash with ps and cat >> to it :)

hth,
adric
