SMS alert

[Adam Kennedy]

I think it took me all of 15 minutes to get smstools3 installed/running 
and get our Samba75 modem installed/running. The samba75 uses the usb 
modem driver built into the kernel. Shows up as tty device. Just point 
smstools3 to that and voila!

I now use smstools3 (http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com) for sending SMS notifications. This uses GSM modem or phone to send SMS messages connected to serial port of a server running Nagios. But you can use SMS gateways as well. www.nagiosexchange.org has lots of scripts to send SMS in either ways, be it SMS gateway or GSM terminal. The choice depends on your conditions. Using SMS gateways requires instant http (internet) access to the gateway site (usually) and you need to pay to operator. Nagios host is usually running in closed network segment for security reasons, so bringing it to outer world can be tricky.

There was some issues with bringing TC35i to work, but they are described in smstool3 FAQ and hardware compatibility documentation and i resolved them in couple of hours :-) (for example, it doesn't like hardware handshake, so i had to turn it off). I didn't get through sending messages in local (russian) alphabet, but that's coming soon.
