Hi,
I want to send a Windows popup from a Linux machine. smbclient is
the standard utility, and it will accept a file on standard
input to avoid terminal interaction, viz.
smbclient -M netbiosname < /tmp/message.text
From my reading of the Ruby Cookbook, recipes 6.15 and 6.16, this
"should" work:
=========
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'stringio'
$stdin = StringIO.new "This is the test message"
system("smbclient -M netbiosname")
=========
Alas, it ignores the input message and prompts for terminal input
terminated by ^D.
Could someone please show me the correct code to use in a Ruby
script to send a string to a Windows popup?
Thanks a lot!
Lester
