Hi

[Fir3Fox]

I'm running a shell server for some users, now to my question, is there any tools for/on debian as I running debain on the server, so I can send messages or talk to them in real time, when they are logged in on the server ??

Are you trying to host a chat server?

If not, I don't think that you might be able to chat with people in real time(logged in to the same computer).
But what you can do is send them System mail and then you can interact

Install ytalk, then just type 'talk <username>'. That's the common unix/linux program to interact with users -- and it's still used by quite a number of people, even despite the advent of jabber, msn, aol and the likes, because it's very simple, plain, textbased, and requires no server.

You can also just send a message by doing "write", or send a message to all users at the same time via "wall". See their manpages for details.
