Thanks guys, The problem with this is the recipient must be running win-popup. Now on Win2k and Win-XPlease boxes (using netsend) you can send the recipient a message that appears in the form of dialogue box that just appears, no win-popup required, I would like to abuse the feature from my Linux box. mmmm I wonder if netsend will run in wine! I'll get back to later
Cheers
HHmm, Windows boxes allowing people do something externally (pop up a dialogue), without running a service which listens for it (winpopup).
Sounds like finally Windows security is stepping up........
