CMD messenger

[Shooterha]

hi, i've tried to make two Cmd messengers and both of them don't work.

for one of them i tried:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
Echo Messanger
:A
set /p n=USER
set /p m=Message
net send %n% %m%
Goto Aand i end up getting this

Code: [Select]

The syntax of this comand is:
NET
        [ Accounts | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP|
          HELPMSG | LOCALGROUP | PAUSE | PRINT | SESSION | sHARE | START |
          STATISTICS | STOP | TIME | USE | USER | VIEW]

The other way i tried to make it is

Code: [Select]

:A
set /p n=USER
set /p m=Message
msg %n% %m%
Goto A
where i end up getting

Code: [Select]

'msg'  is not recognized as an internal or external command, Operable program or batch file
does anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

Msg is only in Windows XP Pro and vista (I don't have it). Try typing
net send /?
At the command prompt to see the correct syntax. The computers have to be networked or the "messenger" won't work either.

this is what it gives me of net send/?

there's a space between send and /?.

Also I believe the messenger service is disabled in XP SP3 and Vista SP1 and up.

there is no send command for net on vista i found out ,

but the thing is when i type in MSG which i heard is still a command it dosnt work

[Salmon Trout]

MSG only works if the other user has messaging enabled. On many networks it is disabled. Type MSG /? to see the help.
