General :: How To Send Message To Local User Logged Into X11
Jul 13, 2011
Is possible to send a message (popup window or something) to local user logged into X (xdm, fluxbox) from console ? For example: user1 is logged and using X/fluxbox, user2 logging into the same box by ssh to console. Now - what user2 have to do to send message to user1 ?
I am trying to login to a redhat server via VNC. This used to work until I reloaded the box. Although I had previously logged in directly to the box, then I could vnc to it remotely. The service is running, netstat states the ports are open and listening.I can ssh to the box, and ran the usual commands to start the services.So my question is. Do I need to have a local user logged in before I can VNC, if so how can I do that via the command line.If this is not required for a local user to be logged in, what am I missing. Other than VNC, which other services do I need to start.
I recently installed FC14 as my server and is able to ssh and vnc into the server when locally logged in. If i logged out (at login screen) then i cant ssh or vnc into the server. It is pointless to have a server if i am not able to remote in via ssh and vnc.
Let's say there are machines A and B. user1 is on machine A, and has access to machine B through ssh (also as user1). user2 is sitting at machine B (let's say in Gnome session). And user1 has sudo access on machine B. How can user1 send a message to user2 (so it should appear on user2's desktop) with notify-send? code...
This doesn't work. I get in result: (notify-send:28676): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed What else should be done to make it work? (trying it on current Debian testing).
I am trying to see the last 5 mails in a single window that the rootuser has sent to a particular normal user.However,I am not able to do so.Is there any command that can display the last 5 mails in a single window sent to a particular user?

I was doing some rather lengthy procedures using a terminal. Then I wrote script using Kate, and input it into that terminal, and then realized that I was logged in as a normal user in that terminal as opposed to a superuser, which is how I was logged in at the other terminal. I've never noticed this before because I've never done anything that takes this long.
Is there any way to link all terminal sessions in such a way that they all show me logged in as the same user? I don't even know if this is even important, but I don't want to risk losing any things that I had done.
I want to send mails to anyone in my local network. I have 20 machines with domain [URL]. I have installed sendmail in my machine with name [URK]. in /etc/sendmail.mc i had comment the DAEMON_OPTION line i redirect it to sendmail.cf restart the service.
I had mentioned the hostname entry in the host file of each pc.Iam able to send mail to all users in my pc. But I want to send mail from server1.example.com to station2.example.com,station3 etc. When I send the mail, it wont reach at the client side.
I am able to reieve message but not able to send message on evolution from my mail client. evolution gives the error as: PHP Code: Cannot get message 1285571362.20345.mail312.opentransfer.com,S=1928: Input/output error
My setup is local install so I don't expect it to receive emails from the internet.However I do expect it to be able send messages to the internet, but it doesn't seem like it. I have tried setting up on FreeBSD before and it was able to do so but I wasn't involved in the setting of the machine though. I was just tasked to setup Horde
I am working on RHEL4 ES server. In our system Talk is not activated(i did not find it in services). To send a mail thru web based mail it is time taking process. I want to send a message(or a mail) to other server. How can I do this? Example: my server IP is 10.xx.xx.xx and the other is 10.xx.xx.xx

I'm trying to use xmms (or any other audio player) lauched from a remote computer but playing locally. I have a maverick server which has xmms installed. I launch an xdmcp (starnetssh) from a windows machine and I am able to open terminals, panels, emacs, etc but when I open xmms (or MOC, is the other one I tested), it simply doesn't play anything unless the same user is logged on the ubuntu box.
How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?
What is the minimum configuration to postfix that I need to do (i.e. to its main.cf file) in order to have the following:mail go from user1 on comp1 to user2 on comp2 on same landemonstration:
user1@comp1# Mail -v "" user2@comp2.somelan.com hi there [CONTROL-D]
I am using Qmail mailing system. Now I want to block the outlook users to send mail(SMTP). I think it can be done through qmail smtp relay option.Is it the right way to block SMTP for outlook users??
I scan a document with root pressing the scanner button. I would like to send an email using my gmail account. OK. nothing difficult with that... mbsmtp + mutt for sending trhough the sh script.
1-root is to be avoided at max to do some internet duties, due to security. Apt-get is good, but ok surfing or email sending shall be avoided for higher security.
2- sudo or su running mutt through this way, ok, using an existing user. OK, possible and simple, but not comfortable since you have to use an account of an user existing (create a new user for scanner and email?? - no, come on, we have linux and can maybe find a solution)
how to send an Email from root console using an non created USER?
I notice that when people message me in a channel the message itself show up in the channel, but I also get notified from pidgin that I got a message. Now my question is, how do I send a message to a specific user so he gets notified like I do, but still the message show up in the channel. I know It's not Linux specific question, but IRC is in Linux culture anyway, and I been googling but for no solution at the end.
I have recently installed Opensuse 11.4 on my desktop. And also upgraded my gnome-2 to gnome-3. Its works nice and I am enjoying it. Only the biggest problem I am facing is, if I lock the screen and leave my desk for couple of hours then user gets logged out automatically. Which is resulting all the documents and applications gets closed. I am unable to work in my desktop now.
How come you can shut down or reboot from the gui w/o needing root privelages, but if I enter "shutdown -h now" on the command line I am met with "shutdown: Need to be root".
Also- somewhat unrelated to my first question- I recall when I first started Ubuntu-ing, if I wanted to shut down or reboot while another user was logged in, I'd need to enter my password- but it doesn't do that anymore. Two users can be logged in with multiple applications open, and if I reboot or shutdown, it just goes for it? (using 9.04, for now...)
