| There are two ways you can do this.
|
| If your paging company has an email-pager gateway, you can simply have
| Nagios send an email message to your pager address. An example of this
| type of address might look like: pageme at somepagingcompany.com.
|
| You should note that sending notifications through email might fail if
| SMTP or DNS services are down or if your connection to the greater
| Internet is down. An alternative to sending pager messages through an
| email gateway would be to hook a modem up to your monitoring host and
| have Nagios dial out through the modem and send the message using the
| TAP (IXO) protocol. There are several programs that can do this for you
| on *NIX systems. Two popular ones seem to be Sendpage and QuickPage.
