To display command output on the terminal of a specific user logged in to your router, or on the terminals of all users logged in to your router, enter request message (all | user account@terminal) after the pipe symbol.
If you are troubleshooting your router and, for example, talking with a customer service representative on the phone, you can use the request message command to send your representative the command output you are currently viewing on your terminal.
The following example sends the output from the show interfaces command you enter on your terminal to the terminal of the user root@ttyp1:
- user@host> show interfaces | request message
user root@ttyp1
The user root@ttyp1 sees the following output appear on the terminal screen:
Message from user@host on /dev/ttyp0 at 10:32 PST... Physical interface: dsc, Enabled, Physical link is Up Interface index: 5, SNMP ifIndex: 5 Type: Software-Pseudo, MTU: Unlimited...
