Re: How to send Broadcast message

I can send a text message from a Windows machine to another Windows machine with this:

perl -e " system 'net send fglock hello world ' "

You can probably do this from Linux using one of the SMB tools. I'll make some tests.

Update: smbclient -M COMPUTERNAME will do it. There must be a way to do broadcast, but I can't find it

I think if you do net send hello it sends to all. I remember doing this in the dorm.. but can't really test that here at work..	[reply]
