Yeah...Sorry..

Here's the script that I have..I need to PAGE (in the function Logger) our support as well as mail...(I got the mail part..)

#!/usr/bin/ksh
. $HOME/.profile
cd /opt/TradeOne/sandbox/TradeXpress/failover
pwd

MSG1='UserProfileServer IS DOWN'
TMP=/tmp/t1AppCheck

function Logger
{
echo 'T1 critical '>>$TMP
echo $MSG1 >>$TMP
hostname>>$TMP
echo ' '>>$TMP

mail abc@yahoo.com< $TMP
rm $TMP
}

if [[ -a appcheck.log ]]
then
rm appcheck.log
appcheck ups.cfg
fi

if [[ -a appcheck.log ]]
then
APPCHECK_STRING=`tail -1 appcheck.log | grep DOWN`
if test &quot;$APPCHECK_STRING&quot; != &quot;&quot;
then
echo $MSG1
Logger
exit 1
fi
else
print &quot;the file appcheck.log doesn't exist&quot;
fi


Thanks

Hi:

First, speak with the vendor providing your pager equipment. They may be able to provide a unix solution.

Probably they can't, but most of the pager vendors now support email in some form.

With proper setup, Unix can support email, so you could potentially send email to anybody using mail or mailx.

But now you're getting into sendmail configuration and mail server setup - something NOT in my area of area of expertise.
