Hi Reza

Does it have to be SMS? If it's for monitor-alerting/notification there's another way: real phone call which tells you whats the problem. SMS can be overheard especially when in deepsleep and the receiving mobile doesnt have a long-loud-fancy sms-tone.

I have in my nagios box a ISDN BRI card with Asterisk/festival. When there's something to notify, festival text2speech's the alert message, and asterisk callsme and play's back whats about.

Festival is not (yet) a good speech-engine, but with a bit a intelligent text and a bit training you got into what nagios is trying to say. And depending on the timeouts you're setting, the message even gets to your voicemail which will be notified by sms (usually).

I can even acknowledge problems by pressing '5' :)

Cheers
josh

Betreff: [swinog] SMS alerting solution

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of a solution for sending SMS alerts.

I am looking for a small appliance with GSM interface/antenna and network interface (IP-NET--------SMS appl.--------GSM) to be able to send sms messages from web interface and command-line.

Cheers and nice weekend.
