How can I "say" to another Mac? I have two Macs in our house (iMac and MacBook Pro).

I would like to use the say command-line utility to type something on my MBP and have it speak on the iMac, rather like an intercom system.

Plus, it could be hilarious to send messages to my wife while she is using the iMac.

Can this be done?
Since the two Mac are in the same house, I assume they're both on the same network.

First of all, you need to activate Remote Login on the Mac where you want the sound out.

Go to System Preferences &gt; Sharing and check the Remote Login checkbox.
Then, using your computer, open Terminal and type this

ssh &lt;user&gt;@&lt;computer name.local&gt;


Where &lt;user&gt; is your wife login and &lt;computer name&gt; is the name of the other computer.

Now, it's as if you're having Terminal open on your wife's computer and you can say whatever you like.
