Send Messages to Page Script

[ITGoddess]

Greetings!

I would be exceptionally grateful if someone out there could share a script they use to send events (dial out to pager number w/alphanumeric or numeric number, either will do.

Already have a fairly simple script for mail notification, would like to embellish for paging:

if [ -z "`ps -ef | grep PRINTQ_DEAMON | grep -v grep`" ]
then
echo "Daemon Dead!" | mail me@somewhere.com
fi

Many Thanks,
-Michelle

Michelle,

I believe what you are doing in the shell script is perfectly fine. But I think some set up needs to be done at the Mail Server.

In my previous company, we were using this feature and the shell script had the following command -

echo &quot;Error in program&quot; | mail me@pager.<<companyname>>.com

Unfortunately, I donot know what set up was done at the mail server level or if any set was done with the Paging Service Provider.

If I have any further information, I will definitely share it with you all.

Thanks !!
