Joyce et. al.
At one point we relied on perl scripts to send important system alarms via
the internet to cell phones. The bottom line is that if the messages you
are sending are critical (like your dot com's main web site just died) I
would suggest taking a hard look at pager delivery -vs- cell-phone message
delivery. Since this is way off topic for this group I do not want to go
into too much detail online (unless others ask :-). However, if you want
more details about the cell-phone -vs- pager debate feel free to contact me
off line (I have set up policy, written code for, and used cellphones (and
or pagers) to send e-mail's, alarms etc. for about the last 5 years).
Ok Back on topic now.
We use perl to send our alarms as Ray suggest. If you have not used perl
to call sendmail before take a look at Mail::Mailer on www.cpan.org.
