.SH DESCRIPTION
This man page documents 
.I sndmsg
version PATCHLEVEL_MARKER.
.PP
.I Sndmsg
is a lightweight program to queue messages to 
.B ppplcd\fR(8). 
It is primarily for use in scripts (such as
.B ppplcc\fR(1)
and in cron jobs (see
.B cron\fR(8)).
.PP
Message ids are numeric. Certain message ids require numeric arguments. 
Currently all messages are interpreted only by 
.B ppplcd\fR(8).
Message ids, their parameters and their interpretation by 
.B ppplcd\fR(8)
are listed below.

if it hadn't already hung up:
