Changes to talk/ytalk or alternative chat in the Linux terminal
- by cascaval
While looking for a piece of software that provides chat between 2 Linux server users logged in the terminal, I tried talk/ytalk. Unfortuntaley it provides chat between users on separate walls (each user has its own wall) and the messages lack timestamps. Is it possible to set it up so that at least timestamps are provided?
Alternatively, is there any other software that could provide one wall on which users write messages prepended with time? Simple chat with messages listed in the order of submission would be ideal:
13:05:48 [bridgekeeper@...]: What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
13:06:28 [cascaval@...]: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
I already tried wall and write but they don't fit the bill.
OS: Debian 6.0
