MESG(1)         DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)         MESG(1)



NAME
     mesg - permit or deny messages

USAGE
     mesg [ n ] [ y ]

DESCRIPTION
     Mesg with argument n revokes nonuser write permission on
     your terminal.  Mesg with argument y reinstates permission.
     Mesg without an argument reports your current decision (y or
     n) regarding the receipt of messages, but does not change
     it.

     Note: This command is a no-op in DOMAIN/IX, thus allowing
     the Shell script that calls it to run.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Exit status is 0 if messages are receivable, 1 if not, 2 on
     error.
