personalize notification commands

[Nelson Serafica]

I want to set nagios to send a txt message if there is a down or critical status. I setup a nagios for testing to another box instead of playing in the stable nagios that was runnin. I already have email notification but sometimes I don't open my email in midnight so I need an alert ans I choose sms. I have an officemate who have a linux box and setup a url where if I visit the url it will send a txt message. Here is the sample url:

http://x.x.x.x/testserver?page=sms_sendsmsmessage&multi_recipients=+123456789&smsmessage=testing&username=nagios&NOEXPIRE

123456789 = sms contact number
testing = message of the sms

Now, I have setup in commands.cfg the ff:

define command{
        command_name    notify-by-txt
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: $SERVICE
OUTPUT$\nDate: $LONGDATETIME$" |/usr/bin/links "http://x.x.x.x/testserver?page=sms_sendsmsmessage&multi_recipients=+123456789&smsmessage=$HOSTNAME&&username=nagios&NOEXPIRE &" 
        }

Then I set my contacts.cfg

define contact{
        contact_name                    nagios-admin
        alias                           Nagios Admin
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-txt
        host_notification_commands      notify-by-txt
        pager                           http://x.x.x.x/testserver?page=sms_sendsmsmessage&multi_recipients=+123456789&smsmessage=testing&username=nagios&NOEXPIRE
        }

I see the logs in nagios the notify-by-txt but I don't receive a sms message. But when I command it via shell, I receive a sms message.

Could someone direct me to right commands in notification commands? Can I set a sample script just to test notification commands?
