zwrite Options

Sending a zephyr to multiple recipients it is possible by the command zwrite friend enemy. This sends the same Zephyr to users friend and enemy.

zwrite friend -m Hello friend

sends a message to user friend with the message ``Hello Friend''. The -m argument must be the last one, as the message text extends until the end of the line.

zwrite -C friend enemy

sends a message to friend and enemy and places the line ``CC: friend enemy'' at the top of the message.

zwrite -n friend

sends a message to friend, but does not ping friend to make sure he is logged in before attempting to send the message. This is slightly faster, especially when the Zephyr system is being used heavily.

If you do not like waiting for the message sent notification after you have sent a Zephyr, it is possible to suppress this information by using the zwrite -q option.
