    Tried that, when I type "who", I see;

    who
    cassidy :0 May 5 18:28
    cassidy :0 May 5 18:28
    rodney pts/1 May 5 18:33 (192.168.1.102)

    How would I correctly send a message to ":0"?

    the correct syntax is supposed to be;;

    write cassidy tty0 hello

    but the above is not a tty#, so what would it be?
