I'd like to thank John first of all for allowing me to post. I know there is a command to send a user to one user or ALL users logged on the system (SSH) through SSH. I've enabled APT; so I was pondering if there was an thing I could install to enable this write command.

Thank you very much.

Is this typed the way you intended? If so, could you please try asking the question with more detail? Perhaps the word "user" in the phrase "command to send a user" was supposed to be something else?

You said "write command", so maybe you're looking for wall? Only thing is I think it writes to all users only.

Hmm. Sorry that sentence doesn't really explain... Yeah there's wall; nevermind this is sorted now I used the command apt-get install nwrite so now I use nwrite (certain user) then the message. Thank you. ;) And thanks for replying fastly.

I think the basic tool used for specific users is "talk"

Yeah, talk works also. Although it doesn't for me; an error with the talk daemon.
