it2 broadcast send

Send text to broadcast domain

Synopsis

it2 broadcast send <text> [flags]

Description

Send text to all sessions in active broadcast domain.

By default, sends a carriage return (\r) after the text to execute commands.
Use --skip-newline to send text without any line terminator.
Use --send-lf to send line feed (\n) to move to new line without executing.

Pre-conditions:
The --require flag allows checking pre-conditions on ALL sessions before sending.
This ensures all sessions are ready before broadcasting.

Examples

# Send to all sessions in broadcast domain
$ it2 broadcast send 'echo hello'
# Send without line terminator
$ it2 broadcast send --skip-newline 'partial text'
# Wait for all sessions to be ready before sending
$ it2 broadcast send --require is-at-prompt 'ls -la'
# Multiple pre-conditions with custom timeout
$ it2 broadcast send --require is-at-prompt --require has-no-partial-input --require-timeout 30s 'pwd'

Options

--confirm: Prompt for confirmation before sending
--delay-before-terminator: Delay before sending line terminator
--require: Pre-condition plugins to check on ALL sessions before sending (e.g., 'has-no-partial-input', 'is-at-prompt')
--require-timeout (default "10s"): Timeout for pre-condition checks per session
-r, --send-cr: Send carriage return (\r) to execute command (default)
--send-lf: Send line feed (\n) to move to new line
--skip-newline: Don't send any line terminator
