Utilities for Parnet or Sernet:
Inform: This is the background message server. This always hangs around and
checks for stuff coming from the other machine, and calls the appropriate
command when it is sent. Inform will flash the other computer's screen when you
try run "Send".
Send: A small CLI program which you can run to open a chat-send window on your
machine. Just type into it as you would into a CLI window. When you press RETURN
at the end of each line, it will be sent to the other machine.
Receive: Another small program which opens a chat-receive window on your screen.
NetCmd: This allows you to execute a command on the other person's computer. Say
for instance you have a reboot command on the remote machine... If you executed
it from your computer, it would load the code to your machine and reboot your
machine. With "NetCmd", the "Inform" program will sense the command coming over
the network, and execute it on the receiving machine, so in this case the remote
machine would execute reboot and reboot the remote machine.
Reboot: Executes a warm reset. Handy with NetCmd. Includes source. Author: Neall
