Somebody asked about this quite a while ago and I put up some work I had done a long time ago. Go to anonymous ftp at...
ftp.powervue.com/pub/messenger
There you will find a few files:
1) Msg.hqx //
ontains a mac init called 'Msg' that install and waits for messages. It installs itself as type 'Messenger' at the machines '<appletalk name>.
2) ptest1.c // sample code to 'broadcast' to the init. You call it as
$ ptest1 <recipient> "Message to send"
where <recipient> is the Mac's machine name. It pops an alert box up with the message. A compiled version is there too.
All of this was done quite a while ago on older mac os's. I may still work, but you're on your own and if you don't like how it works, or bad things happen don't blame me. I might still have the src for the mac init, but I'm at work and it's (hopefully) at home.
