The following command sends the message " hello console" to line 0:
The following command sends the message " hello everyone" to all terminals:
If you begin the message on the same line as the send command, the first character
of the message is considered to be a delimiter. You must use the same character to
terminate the message. In both examples above, the delimiter was a double quotation
mark ( ).
If you press Enter without typing the second delimiter, the CLI prompts you for more
message text and reminds you to complete the message with the delimiter, as shown
in the following example:
If you do not begin the message on the same line as the send command, the CLI
prompts you for the message text after you press Enter. The CLI does not recognize
delimiters for these messages; you must enter Ctrl+z, as shown in the following
example:
The receiving terminals display the message without regard to other output currently
displayed on the terminal. Pagination is not affected.
The sending terminal is not affected by the state of the intended receiving terminal.
For example, if the receiving terminal is flow-controlled off or at a --More-- prompt,
the message is still sent, and the sending terminal is available for further commands.
The receiving terminal in this case displays the message when subsequently
flow-controlled on or when the user responds to the --More-- prompt.
The receiving terminal displays the message, the line number of the sender, the
username of the sender if the user was authenticated through RADIUS, and the time
the message was sent.
