Paketti: casu (3.3.3-5)

Communication and Status Utilities

This package contains 2 utilities:

 1. flon  -- lists your friends who are logged on
 2. to    -- sends a short message to another user

flon simply uses the ~/.friends file to instruct it on which users to display. Flon can also act like a BSD style who(1), if invoked with the -w option or from a symlink named 'who'.

to is rather like write(1), except that it accepts input as command line arguments rather than on the standard input. It uses ~/.torc for configuration, and can be configured to autoreply to messages in different ways depending on whether you're logged in or not or if your terminal is idle, and can also exclude individual users from sending messages to your terminal.
