RE: [Bigsister-general] alerting via SMS

[<suppressed>]

hi,

i'm sure as soon as you have this working you'll wish you hadn't :)

anyway, to integrate bs and sendpage, write a small script to send the
sms via sendpage. you may want to parse out the important bits, or split
up text longer than 160 chars into smaller chunks. then in your
bb_event_generator something like ...

PAGER{$mail eq "sms") pager=/path/to/script.sh mail="+12345678"

would do the job.

Regards,
Peter

Subject: [Bigsister-general] alerting via SMS

Hi all,

we're using Big Sister for quite a while now. We'd like to extend the
alerting functionality to also send out SMS messages on a certain event.
Just like you can now set up a complete schedule with sending emails and
so on, we'd like to specify in a same kind of way when to send an SMS to
a person or a group of persons (mobile phones) like sending alerting
emails (bb_event_generator.cfg).

I'd be great to specify in a likewise manner different mobile phone
groups for the different BigSister groups. For instance a group of
windows servers only needs to send an sms to those administrators and
the same for the linux server group. Extracting the subject of the email
for use as the text message in the SMS would be perfect.

I've been looking on the project site and saw a reference to sendpage.
A paging/SMS gateway.
Setting up sendpage shouldn't be too much of a hassle, but what do I
need to get BigSister and sendpage to work together? I've searched the
archives of this list and haven't really found anything that can help
me. Does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Dennis
