I do something similar from nagios using Clickatell (http://www.clickatell.com) 
using a simple http call. Credits are cheap and dont expire from month to 
month. While many cell providers have a email gateway, I found this method 
unreliable (not good when a server is down). I'd rather pay  $20 or whatever it 
was for 400 credits every so often than risk the email gateway throwing out the 
messages (which it did to me).

We send ourselves alerts from some of our Universe processes via UNIX sendmail. 
 We would like to be able to send some of the critical alerts as text messages 
to our personal cell phones when there is no one around to monitor emails.  
Does anyone know if this is possible? The alerts currently go to our company 
pager, however the pager is rotated through our whole department and it is not 
always carried by someone who is familiar with our Universe OM system so the 
alerts are ignored.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
