text pagers

[Arjan de Graaff]

        pager       kpn:0612345678

kpn is configured in "sms_address" (comes with sms_client) and contains in
this case the SMS service number to call wich in turn sends an sms to the
number behind kpn: in this case 0612345678

See doc sms_client

We did not use Pages but send SMS messages to the contacts mobile phone with
the use of the program sms_client.

Configure the folowing and download the sms_client.



In Your Contacts.cfg define the correct Pager number of your mobile phone.

#***************************************************************************
******
# 'Arjan' contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                    arjan
        alias                           Arjan
        service_notification_period     SLA-Day
        host_notification_period        SLA-Day
        service_notification_options    c
        host_notification_options       d
        service_notification_commands   service-notify-by-qpage
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-qpage
        email                           arjan at a.com
        pager                           kpn:0612345678
        }
#***************************************************************************
******

Then in your misccommands.cfg change / add the folowing:

#***************************************************************************
******
# 'host-notify-by-qpage' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-qpage
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ Info: $OUTPUT$ Time: $DATETIME$" |
/usr/bin/head -c 155 | /usr/bin/sms_client -q $CONTACTPAGER$
#***************************************************************************
******

It runs the program "sms_client" dials de contactpager as defined at "pager"
in contact.cfg and sends an SMS massage to your mobile with a short
desctription.

That would work except....

Nobody is watching their e-mail in the middle of the night.  You can
however sleep with a pager on the nightstand.. :o)
