Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
I use 'qpage', which drives a direct attach modem, through a dedicated analog line. Most cell phone providers, including Verizon, support using the TAP protocol to send messages to mobile phones as text messages. http://www.qpage.org/ https://www.vtext.com/customer_site/jsp/aboutservice.jsp yes i should have said - we use qpage to send the page via the modem to the carrier and then they send it off to our pagers. we tried SMS v's pager and prefer pager as they are less easy to sleep through and we found reliability was better - we had too many SMS's just vanish - Take Surveys.

I agree mostly, but I'd like to send SMS messages via a directly connected modem or wireless phone. On that subject, anyone have information on installing a blackberry on a linux box for this purpose? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
well, you could just use gnokii or something like that and have a mobile phone connected directly to the nagios server, although I haven't tried this myself. it does mean that there is a completely separate route for gettng alerts. -h Hari Sekhon Tom Brown wrote: I am in the process of setting up nagios for monitoring key services in our network setup.
