Problem using snpp.pl for notifications

[Dave Augustus]

Thanks Patrick for the information. A small light bulb has just appeared
above my head. :)



So using the embedded perl is *least expensive* ?

What about Quickpage versus Sendpage? Quickpage is compiled C program
and Sendpage is perl. Would embedded perl calling Quickpage be *less
expensive* than using Sendpage with /usr/bin/perl ?
