sms alert using gnokii

[Shane_Seidel at gwf.com.au]

Bernie,

I missed a bit, I believe user nagios should also be a member of the gnokii
group.

Regards
Shane

>>I have SMS working on RH7.3, Nagios 1.0 using Nokia 5110, Gnokii Version
0.3.3, Telstra GSM (Australia)

>>Some key points to remember:- if the gnokii command runs from root ok then su
nagios and try the command. If the command now fails >>permissions are the clue.

>>Make sure nagios can write to the port eg. ttys0 in Red Hat
>>Make sure nagios is a member of the tty group
>>Make sure nagios is a member of the uucp group ( not sure of the correlation
but have found this to be the case with other devices >>connected to the comm
port eg Temp Trax digital thermometer)

>>Lastly here is the command I use, note the +61 (Aust code), no smsc and no
switches I have seen "-C0 2" inserted before >/dev/null but >>this displays the
message on the phone without saving to the inbox
>>command[notify-by-sms]=/usr/bin/printf "$HOSTNAME$ - $SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$" | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms >>+61408XXXXXX >/dev/null

>>Thanks to Pia from Linux Australia for helping me nut this out and good luck!
