Send SMS in Linux

[Stefano Coletta]

Use the SMS Server Tools
http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/

Add this to the misccommands.cfg

define command {
command_name                   notify-by-sms
command_line                   /bin/echo "/usr/local/bin/sendnagiossms
$CONTACTPAGER$ \"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: Service $SERVICEDESC$ on
$HOSTALIAS$ is $SERVICESTATE$ ($OUTPUT$) - °$DATETIME$\"" | ssh yourhost
}

Replace yourhost with your SMS host where you have to install SMS Server
tools.
Note: $CONTACTPAGER has to include country prefix number.

Establish an ssh key trust between nagios user on the nagios host and
the relative user on the sms server so it will not ask for a password.

Then add the command /usr/local/bin/sendnagiossms on the SMS server:

#!/bin/sh
OLD_MSG_NODATE=`echo $2 | cut -d° -f 1`
OLD_DATE=`echo $2 | cut -d° -f 2`
NEW_DATE=`date -d "$OLD_DATE" +"%e-%b %H:%M"`

TEXT="$OLD_MSG_NODATE$NEW_DATE"
STRIPPED_TEXT=`echo $TEXT | sed -f /usr/local/bin/sendnagiossms.sed`

/usr/local/bin/sendsms $1 "$STRIPPED_TEXT"

and the file for sed /usr/local/bin/sendnagiossms.sed

s/000000/0/g
s/00000/0/g
s/°//g

Once you have tested that SMS Server tools is properly installed try
configuring Nagios to send sms using this command instead of notify-by-email

Enjoy
