in the future am thinking of a good enhancements of SMS (gnokii or smstools) to be 2 way communications, i.e. so the server can be controled via mobile phone. 
if a server/service goes down, you can reply to the 
alert SMS message with a reboot command or start an application, 
to fix a service as long the server reachable and the signal can get to the server. 

What do you think ? 

Thanks Dennis and Peter for you inputs ... i have downloaded smstools started with the configuration.....

I use gnokii. Modem is a Telular GSM SX5D 

/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

Actually, smstools allow you to interact with any application. You can send a message back and execute any command, it´s just a matter of configuration. And keep in mind the security issues.
