Nagios 1.2 - qpage

[Tom Brown]

I am more than likely being very simple here. However i run qpage and i have 
various groups setup within qpage allready. An example would be...

$ qpage all "My message here"

And i would receive "My message here" on our pagers - The modem is connected 
locally etc. So what i don't get is how can i get the nagios box itself to 
send the page rather than generating an email that gets sent as a page by 
another process or service?

I don't think i'm trying to reinvent the wheel am i? Just we have Netsaint 
running in this setup with TBOX from early 2002 and i like the way that 
works.

thanks - and i'm sure its just me being dumb.

(BTW) - Here is a snip from the log whoch shows Nagios doing its thing with 
regard to sending the notification...

[1100262362] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagios;dbrestore;/dev/hda3 Free 
Space;WARNING;notify-by-epager;DISK WARNING [3230548 kB (18%) free on 
/dev/hda3]

So i think that as long as i can get the alert generated as a page rather 
than an email it will work
