Sending notifications via SMS+mobile phone

Hello! Could anyone please assist me in troubleshooting the following task:

I've bought a TC-35i GSM modem and connect it to my linux Debian box.
Everything works fine and I can successfully send sms using the following
command:

echo "some test text" | gnokii --sendsms myNumber

The problem is that nagios can't send sms using gnokii and I can't figure
out why Peter's script (I add it to my message in the bottom) won't work for
me.

The command for nagios is:

define command{
        command_name notify-service-by-email
	  command_line echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$" |gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1
        }

I got the following message in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log:

[1209125514] SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Connection
refused
[1209125574] SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;Connection
refused
[1209125634] SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check SMTP;CRITICAL;HARD;3;Connection
refused
[1209125634] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagiosadmin;vector;Check
SMTP;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;Connection refused




Thanks in advance,
			Ilya.

I use gnokii. I have used a Telular GSM SX5D and currently use an
Easygate analog fixed cellular terminal (via serial port). Gnokii is
avaialble in Debian Etch and supports a lot of mobile phones. Check
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config for a partial list of
supported phones. The atgen driver in gnokii supports lots of phones.

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off



Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1
