Hello,
this is just my opinion and something to thought about...
I have read about SMS alerting here. I think, from a reliability point of view, this kind of alerting, is not stable enough. Your designs are based on sending an eMail to an SMS sending system. A simple question: How do you get alerts for your eMail system? We have implemented this functionality with a simple modem attached to the Hobbit system and we dial the SMS provider directly. I think, that this is a more reliable solution, if you want to do SMS Alerting.
Another option is to give the important guys Blackberry or similar devices and let them read the alert via eMail. Advantage: they can access internal hobbit systems directly and confirm alerts...
As I said... just some thoughts...

I mean, we have a staff of 5 people who I would want to send the alert too on their cell phones. Can I create a group alias like IT-NOC that would have 5 cell phone numbers to alert to?

5 lines or an alias?

Thanks, I was actually after the smsplus.sh part, hadn't bothered to check deadcat, I should have done that. Ben posted the smsplus.sh, so between the two I think I am good to go.
I believe I can setup macros with the hobbit-alerts.cfg file too. Can you set up an alias group so that you can send SMS alerts to multiple cell phones, i.e. say you want to send it out to 5 phones at once?
Thanks, Taylor

Can someone provide a sample script they are using to send out SMS alerts via hobbit. If you are using add-on tools to do this please provide which tools you are using.
Is anyone creating aliases for phone numbers?
Thanks,
Taylor
