How to send msg to BaaN users logged-in on NT server, as most of the clients are connected to NT domsin using Win9X.

We are having 2 BaaN servers one on NT and another on Unix, as I know sending msg thru BaaN by writing unix shell script, is there anyway to do the same in NT server.

Use the command: NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message

Thru google I found a page that explains all about it (for Win95/98 clients you need to install Winpopup), here (http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/winpopup.htm)

but this won't work with the Win9X client, I tried this command as well.

Try using the bshcmd command. You will need a list of the process ID's of the running ntbshell's. Then, use the syntax:


bshcmd -w 1 -u 1 -M "message" <pid>


On NT, the only problem is determining the pid of a particular user. I haven't figured out how to do that, yet! For all users, write a batch file that sends the same message to all pid's.

it's not that difficult: use the licmon utility. The number behind the login name is the pid.

For sending a message to all users you better use the file systemmess in ${BSE}/lib. (you need to have ttstppollmess loaded in bms_mask)

Use this batch file on NT to send message to all BAAN connected users.

Usage:
bshcmdnt [your message]

Nice!
