Enhanced Reference

Command and Utility Summary

You send a message to a workstation’s alias with the net send command.

LAN Manager Enhanced uses three types of aliases: computernames,

usernames, and aliases added with the net name command or through the

Aliases option from the Message menu of the LAN Manager screen.

There are two ways a workstation can receive messages sent to its aliases:

• When the Netpopup and Messenger services are running, a message box displays

each message on the workstation’s screen.

• When message logging is on, the incoming message is sent to a message log file

or a printer. The net log command controls message logging.

Changes made with the net start messenger command remain in effect only

as long as the Messenger service is running. Once started, the Messenger

service can be stopped only by stopping the Workstation service.

Example

• To start the Messenger service with a message buffer of 5120 bytes, type:

net start messenger /sizmessbuf:5120
