smbclient -M <machinename>

 

>From the manpage:

 

       -M NetBIOS name
              This  options allows you to send messages, using the
"WinPopup"
              protocol, to another computer. Once a connection is
established
              you then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.

 

              If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will
re-
              ceive the message and probably a beep. If they are not
running
              WinPopup  the  message  will be lost, and no error message
will
              occur.

 

              The message is also automatically truncated if the  message
is
              over 1600 bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol.

 

              One  useful  trick  is to cat the message throughsmbclient.
For
              example:  cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED  will send
the
              message in the file mymessage.txt to the machine FRED.

 

              You  may  also  find the -U and-I options useful, as they
allow
              you to control the FROM and TO parts of the message.

 

              See the message command parameter in the smb.conf(5) for a
de-
              scription of how to handle incoming WinPopup messages in
Samba.

 

              Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs
if
              you want them to always be able to receive messages.

Hi,

 

Could somebody tell me how to send messages over a network from RHEL AS 3.4
to Windows machines. 

As we use "net send <pc-name> (message)" in windows to windows messaging.
