m

Synopsis:
m <channel> <text to send>
m % <process id | process name> <text to send>

Description:
This command has 3 primary functions: to send a private message to an individual, to send a message to a channel, or to send a message to a running exec process (usually a command of some sort). You can specify multiple recipients for the message by delimiting them with commas (but no spaces), and you may even mix-and-match the types of recipients. Additionally, there are 3 special cases for recipients. If you specify a single comma, ",", the message will go to the last person who sent you a m. If a single period, ".", the message will go to the last person you sent a m to. If you specify an asterisk, "*", the message will go to your current channel.

Examples:
To send a private message to your friend Buddha:
/m buddha hi there!

To send a message to your current channel:
/m channel how is everyone today?

To send a message to a running execed process with id 2:
/m %2 exit

To send a message to an execed process named "mail":
/m %mail x
