Free Tools for sending text page

[sarma]

HI
Are there any free tools to send text pages to users for monitoring the disk space usage

If your pager supports it, you could use sendmail.

Typically, most pagers have an email address as well. Example, 18001112222@skytel.com
Use sendmail to send mail t6o this email address with the -s option for the subject.

mailx 18001112222@skytel.com -s "Disk space full"

This will send a text page to the skytel with the subject text of "Disk space full"

Hi Sarma,

How about using sendmail ?

There are a number of scripts inside this post, just search for filesystem.

Hope this helps,

Do you have sendmail configured on your system ?.

If so you can use mailx

mailx -s "Subject" your_email@domain.com < /tmp/your_file.txt


thx,

We had problems with sendmail as the brodcasting was disabled on this. I had to use my GWmail to get the message from unix and use a rule to fowrward the message
