Hi 
	If you are using nagios to send the messages, be careful that
sms_client has a limit of 150 characters in the text message. Depending on
what outputs you are sending from nagios, the outputs can easily become more
than 150 characters.

Regards
Stephen

Subject: [Nagios-users] sms notify not working

Hi everyone i'm using sms_client to send sms messages to a tap server 
for sprint

i can run the sms_client manually fine but i set it to a notify 
definition and it won't execute
nagios logs shows that it executed the notify command but it doesn't 
actually run the sms_client daemon at all.
In the notifications history it shows that those notify commands are 
executed but it actually isn't being executed at all
I can run email notify commands fine.

Help please?
TIA James

Here's the notify commands i've tried :

define command{
        command_name                    notify-by-sms
        command_line                    /usr/bin/sms_client -q 
sprintpcs:800xxxxxxx "$HOSTNAME$ $SERVICESTATE$\r\n Info: $OUTPUT$"
}

define command{
        command_name                    notify-by-sms-testing
        command_line                    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Host: 
$HOSTNAME$ I
nfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n" | sms_client -q sprintpcs:800xxxxxxx
}
