Is there a way to message some thing to a specific TTY? Unlike wall which hits everyone, I only want to hit an individual.

Hi
By using "write" you can write message to another user.
By using "rwall" you can write to specified remote machine.
By using "talk" you can chat with another system.

IF u just want to dump something on the tty you can use cat with a redirector > tty_number

Hi Jeff

Here you go http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,1150,0xa5acee3e323bd5118fef0090279cd0f9,00.html

also cat > /dev/ttyXpY and then the meesage will also do. You need to send the o/p by pressing cntrl D

# write

if user's tty have write permission for u, then
for ex. to send message to /dev/ttyp4
# echo "my message" > /dev/ttyp4
