# Send a message to all pty's
# This was something I was considering using alongside nowplay and statustty
# But this sends the message to all open tty's, including the one running cmus
# and vim etc.. XD

# 2020-07-06 - NOTE: pty's don't seem to be used in Debian any-more, so this script no longer works.
