Unix messaging

[tricolaire]

Hi, my friends and I in a java class decided to set up a "hamachi" network. I understand what hamachi does, but I obviously missed the lesson on how to use it. My friends are all on PC, I am on a mac, so I'm using a command line version. I can get it to list the IP addresses for the virtual network, so I know who I am trying to get a message to and where to send a message, but I can't find the "send" option in hamachi. So I'm resorting to using Unix commands to pull this off.

I know on DOS one can use "net send" with an IP address and message to send IM's over a LAN. is there an equivalent command with Unix?

TIA

I believe you are looking for the "write" command.
