As discussed with Arno, here's the README included in kpage, for
your better understanding what it is for.

kpage - pager utilites for Kannel SMS gateway
Copyright (c) 2005 Stanislav Sinyagin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
OVERVIEW
The package consists of two programms:
kpage:
sends an SMS to a given GSM number. It generates a unique message ID and
stores its status in a database.
kpage_confirm.cgi:
a CGI script that is called by the Kannel daemon for delivery reports.
Both utilities record each event in a log file.
INSTALLATION
Install the following Perl modules from CPAN:
LWP::UserAgent
URI
Log::Agent
DBD::DBM
Digest::MD5
Supply ./configure with options specific to your system.
Example:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kpage \
cgidir=/opt/csw/apache/perl \
statedir=/var/lib/kpage
In this example, the package components will be instaled under /opt/kpage,
and the CGI placed in the mod_perl repository.
The database will be created in /var/lib/kpage.
Run "make install"
Change configuration options. Look into the file "kpage-config.pl"
(/opt/kpage/share/kpage/kpage-config.pl in this example) for default options,
and overwrite them in "kpage-siteconfig.pl"
(/opt/kpage/etc/kpage-siteconfig.pl in this example).
Set the common files and directories group writable and owned
by the group that your Apache daemon uses (group "nobody" in this example):
chgrp nobody /var/log/kpage.log
chmod g+w /var/log/kpage.log
chgrp nobody /var/lib/kpage/
chmod g+ws /var/lib/kpage/
Initialize the database: "/opt/kpage/bin/kpage --initdb"
Now kpage is ready to use.
USAGE
Sending messages:
/opt/kpage/bin/kpage --send --to=012345678 --text='Hello world!'
List unconfirmed messages:
/opt/kpage/bin/kpage --list
Delete old unconfirmes messages:
/opt/kpage/bin/kpage --purge
Delete all information about unconfirmes messages:
/opt/kpage/bin/kpage --purge --all
Message events are not printed to stdout, and they are recorded
in the log file (/var/log/kpage.log by default).
