net send on Linux platform

Question;

I've made a scheduler, but now i'm asking myself if it's possible to emulate
the 'net send' command from windows so I can send
a notifiy to a user if an appointment is 'actual'.

I've seen plenty demo's of this problem, but the're all running from a
windows platform where the system command net send can be used..

Guess you have to create a 'raw packet' yourself ...???..????

Anyone????

Regards from Holland,
Marco

smbclient, part of Samba, can do this.

One of its options is:

"
-M NetBIOS name
This options allows you to send messages, using the
"WinPopup" protocol, to another computer. Once a connection is established you
then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.
