Format

Description

Sends a text message to a client specified by CLIENT_NUMBER, to the clients connected to the

specified files (FILE), or to all clients connected to any file in the specified paths (PATH).

If no CLIENT_NUMBER, FILE, or PATH is specified, the message is sent to all connected clients. By

default, parameters are expected to be FILES or PATHS.

To specify a CLIENT_NUMBER, you must use the -c option. For example:

fmsadmin SEND -c 2 -m "This is a test message"

Options

-m message, --message message

Specifies the text message to send.

-c, --client

Specifies a CLIENT_NUMBER.
