Sendmess is a simple client of messaged which will ask message to display a message on some display.
Sendmess is normally given a display name as a command line argument and a message on standard input. It will connect to the messaged on the local host and deliver the message.

If Sendmess is given a second argument, it will connect to the messaged on the given host. This is needed if the display is currently logged in to another host, and will only work if messaged on that host was started with an appropriate -d domain flag.

With no arguments, Sendmess simply read from standard input and sends what it gets to the local messaged, so the first line of the standard input should be a display name. As messaged only accepts connections from privileged ports, Sendmess can only be run by root (or be setuid, though that is not encouraged).

Sendmess plays no particular part in the booking system as book_manager sends eviction messages directly to the messaged. It is useful for testing, and can be used in any other circumstance where it is useful to display messages on particular workstations, such as informing a lab supervisor of a paperout condition on a printer.
