Command: write - send a message to a logged-in user
Syntax: write [-cv] user [tty]
Flags: -c Use cbreak mode
-v Verbose mode
Examples: write ast # Send a message to ast
write ast tty00 # Send a message to ast on tty00
Write lets a user send messages to another logged-in user. Lines
typed by the user appear on the other user's screen a line at a time (a
character at a time in the case of cbreak mode). The file /usr/adm/wtmp
is searched to determine which tty to send to. If the user is logged
onto more than one terminal, the tty argument selects the terminal.
Type CTRL- D to terminate the command. Use ! as a shell escape.
