Thought I would poll the list on this one to see what everyone else is doing.
The iphone won't let a user specify a custom sound for a text message alert (unless it's jailbroken). It won't repeat the notification sound frequently (once every three seconds, for example). The existing notification sounds aren't loud enough or long enough to wake up most people. Most of the folks I serve have started to complain that Nagios can't wake them up -- it's really an iphone problem though. Has anyone else come up with a good solution and actually put it into use? I am considering several options: 1. Write my own iphone app to make the thing go nuts when a text message is ignored for more than a few minutes. 2. Write my own system to cause a simple v.Everything modem to call someone and read them an alert using speex or set up an asterix gateway to allow such a call to be placed. 3. Use an outside service such as pagerduty or alarmtilt. I don't quite have the skill for #1, and I don't want to deal with detecting answering machines for #2, so I'm surprised to find myself leaning towards #3. But what has everyone else done? Is no one else having to deal with this? -- Trever Furnish, [email protected] Herff Jones, Inc.
