Linux Messaging Commands

It's embarrassing but I keep forgetting commands to communicate with other users logged inside the Linux server. So, I'm writing it all here for me.

  • wall - broadcast to all logged in users.  This is the only one I always remember.
  • write - sends a message to the specific user.
  • tty - displays the ttyname of the users among other things.
  • When writing a message, input, Ctrl+C, or Ctrl+D sends the message.
