MESG(1)                       Linux User's Manual                      MESG(1)



NAME
       mesg - control write access to your terminal

SYNOPSIS
       mesg [y|n]

DESCRIPTION
       Mesg  controls the access to your terminal by others.  It's typically used to allow
       or disallow other users to write to your terminal (see write(1)).

OPTIONS
       y      Allow write access to your terminal.

       n      Disallow write access to your terminal.

       If no option is given, mesg prints out the current access state of your terminal.

       Mesg assumes that its standard input is connected to your terminal. That also means
       that  if you are logged in multiple times, you can get/set the mesg status of other
       sessions by using redirection.  For example "mesg n < /dev/pts/46".
