You can use "who" or "w" to check for the users logged into a Unix system. You can use programs like "write" and "talk" to send users messages.

How do you exit a "write" session? Don't quite follow the manpage...

I use CTRL-D to indicate that I have finished typing the message (so CTRL-D is the EOF character). When you enter the EOF character, the message is sent immediately to the other user.
