Xmsg3 - large wakeup message display window
Xmsg3 <arg>
This
is an Xwindows program which gives a large window to display a message.
It is used from a shell script called "wakeup". The purpose of the script
is to get the operator’s attention so a conversation using
talk(1)
can be
initiated by someone logging into the system remotely.
The message is "Wake
up !!!!!!! <arg> wants to talk" in very large letters. The rest of the message
is "(press mouse button to dismiss this window".
<arg> is printed in red and
the rest of the message is printed in green.
The window will time out and
disappear on it’s own after 300 seconds if not dismissed by a mouse button
press.
The return exit code is zero if the operator clicked a mouse button
in the window and one if the window timed out.
- arg
- The name of the
user wishing to talk(1)
.
- CRT_COLOR_TBL
pathname to file containing the color information. See xcrt_color(5)
for
information about the format.
The size of the window is hardcoded and
is very large.
