MESG(1) DOMAIN/IX 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.
