NAME
     writed - daemon for write(1) program

USAGE
     /etc/writed

DESCRIPTION
     The writed daemon is used by the write(1) program.  To
     enable a write to a node other than your own, writed must be
     running on the destination node.  Similarly, you must be
     running writed on your node to receive a write message.

     We recommend invoking writed in background mode via the
     /etc/rc Shell script.  If you include the lines

     if [ -f /etc/writed ]; then
          /etc/writed &
     fi

     in your node's `node_data/etc.rc file, the
     /etc/run_rc program will start writed at boot time (after
     first checking to see if the file exists).

     The writed process starts mbx_helper automatically if one is
     not present when writed is invoked.

FILES
     /etc/utmp           record of who is logged in on the node
                         (link to `node_data/etc.utmp).
