Pager Interface Was: Command line interface to acknowledge host problem

[Scott]

Correct me if I am wrong.. you are obviously using an external paging
system or email to sms gateway somewhere, I actually have a GSM modem
attached to the nagios server which means I dont rely on my network at all
to send notifications (whats the point of paging me if I never get the
page) I think the way I am going about this is going to be easier as I can
translate directly from the GSM modem to the nagios.cmd file with only a
few perl calls.
