The Pigeon Generator for UNIX is a simple command line utility to generate a message from a UNIX machine. Prior to using it for the first time, the file uPigeon.c must be compiled on your Unix machine to create a file named uPigeon.
By typing uPigeon at the prompt, you will get the syntax:
Pigeon Distant Generator 2.1 for Unix
USAGE:
uPigeon HostIP "TEXT|LEVEL|MODE|LIFETIME|GROUPS"
WHERE:
HostIP is the IP address of the Pigeon Server
TEXT is the message to send
LEVEL is a number: 0=Message
1=Warning
2=Alert
3=ALARM **
MODE is a number: 0=Acknowledge
1=Continuous
LIFETIME is a number: 0=One shot to connected users
1=Repeat at every client's login
2=Once to every users
GROUPS is optional. It lists all designated users
(separated by semicolons ; )

All 4 delimiter pipes | must be included even if no group is specified
and the complete set must be enclosed within double quotes "
Using the ALARM level will generate a continuous alarm sound on
targetted PCs. Use with care.
