SEND(1)

NAME
send, ygone - bitnet message send tools

SYNOPSIS

send
    [-s|-u username] -c{ommand} host [ text of command ]

send
    [-s|-u username] [-c{ommand}] @host [ text of command ]

send
    [-s|-u username] [-m{essage}] user@host [ text of message ]

ygone
    [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION

send sends NMR messages over RSCS network to target host/user. Only necessary argument is the first one telling if this is command to be sent to a hostname without giving `@' in its name. Commands go to (usual name) `RSCS' subsystem at each host, Messages to specificied users.

Examples:

send @bitnic cpq time
send -c bitnic cpq time
    (Sends a "CPQ TIME" to BITNIC)
send user@bitnic hello
    (Sends a "hello" to user@bitnic)
send -u foo user@bitnic hello
    (Sends a "hello" to user@bitnic from user foo@<localhost>)
send -s user@bitnic hello
    (Sends a "hello" to user@bitnic from local system: "@<localhost>")

When send is left without [text of message] portion of arguments, it prompts that from user giving target address as prompt string. Hit empty line or EOF to quit.

If no [text of message] is given, STDIN is used as an input for send, thus IO redirection can be used.

When send is left without target address, that too is asked from the user.

Ygone controls temporary disposition of incoming NMR-messages into a personal logfile. In UNIX systems that file is .ygone.messages in user's home directory. This association is broken when funetnje(8) is restarted, as the list of service requesters is kept only in core..

With option -d user can disable ygone, and look at latest set of arrived messages (if any).

ENVIRONMENT
With environment variable EBCDICTBL user can select alternate EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation tables. For more info, see ebcdictbl(5).
