How to receive notification alert by sms to mobile phone using Nagios

[Andrew Davis]

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section 
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out 
what Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if 
email is done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem 
resolve this. I have it installed and working fine. Our normal 
notifications go via email, but if a network device or email server is 
down, then notifications go via SMS.
