[ale] Pager Notification for System Events

[Geoffrey Myers]

}Does anyone know of any software to call a pager for certain system
}events (comm port gets disconnected, user gets e-mail, etc.) preferrably
}economical, or better yet free. 

I threw together a script that calls my pager.  I created it initially
because I was having problems receiving pages, so I set it up to page
me every hour on the quarter hour.  I wanted to have 'evidence' to
back up my complaint.  I later added a script that would call me whenever
anyone logged into my box or if my daughter rebooted to run Reading Rabbit.

A while back, I had an extensive script that was called from cron and would
page me for various things, low disc space, process hogs and what not.

In each case the page was a numeric, so the call to the pager would
display a numeric code which I would have to translate.  You're welcome
to the code if you want it, it's not substantial.  You may be looking for
something more substantial.
