How to send messages out to a Alphanumerice Pager

[Brian Ham]

I have some jobs that I would like see finish. I have
an Alphanumeric pager that can recieve email.

How can I make my system mail these jobs to my pager.

Our company uses a firewall, is this another concern?

if your pager service provider has an e-mail address at their location you can mail to (typically the alpha page phonenuber @ pager provider's domain), you can just send e-mail to that adderss via mailx, and have sendmail on that system relay to your internet e-mail gateway.

hi,

You can try this,


echo "This is a test message" |mailx your_pager_email_address

If the system allows you to send internet email messages, you should be able to send this message and get it on your pager. You can put some messages like this in your scripts, which can page you with different message depending on different situations.

Hope this helps.

One thing to keep in mind is that there is usually an 80 to 100 character limit, depends on your provider.

Usually you can go to the website of the provider and send messages that way as well. When it comes in you should be able to see what your address is and then use that in your scripts.

use the mailx command and replace the id with your pagerno and then your pager provider's
domain.

eg : mailx .....pagerno@pagenet.com
