Sending a message to a remote terminal

Question

I am trying to import an obj file into Blender. I was able to get it to rezoom so that I can see the object, but when I move it (rotate it) there is a cutting plane that is actively slicing through it so that I can't see the whole object. How do I fix that? Thanks.

Solution 1

You can use the write command to send messages to a specific user instead of to everybody. You can send them over the network using whatever login credentials you already have, usually over ssh like this: ssh youruse@hostname write username to send username@hostname a message.

Solution 2

you can use nc for example in receiving host type nc -l port_number and in sending host type nc ip port_number like

nc -l 3106

in receiving host and

nc 192.168.32.98 3106

in sending host for me that worked

"Terminal", not "TCP port".

but you can see this message in your terminal

this opens up a connection to write message to the user, and I have to manually close the connection . How can I just open up a conncetion, send the message and close it. I want to write this inside a bash script

@Eular The same way you do for any STDIN stream in a shell. You can type a message and end it with CTRL-D, or pipe content to the command: echo foo | ssh ....
