Hello all I have read the section that describes "If e-mail is not enough" that talks about sending an SMS message or something else but there is no explanation of what generates the actual connection. There is a reference to "/usr/local/bin/smsalert" but this does not exist. Do I have to first find, install, and configure some sort of SMS alert program? If so, can someone suggest one?
Not without knowing your carrier. There are a number of programs out there, I quite like MercurySMS but YMMV.
Also, can Hobbit send a page to a traditional paging carrier? If so, how is that done?
You'll just need the appropriate software for your carrier. I've been using the Net::SNPP perl module as my pager supplier has an SNPP interface.
