Is sendpage or some other alphanumeric paging program available from one of the repos for CentOS 5? I've checked rpmforge and epel. I just wanted to check to see if it might be available somewhere else before I resort to building from source.
Distributed as a tar file www.sendpage.org.
Are you sending to pagers or cell phones?
I just echo a message and pipe it to mail cellphone#@cellcarrier.com and that work to get text messages to cell phones.
I can use the tar file, but I was hoping to find it in a repo somewhere to make it easier to keep up with any updates.
I'm sending to a pager. This system monitors my network and let's me know if there are any problems. I'm using a pager because I want to hear about it if my Internet connection goes down. I couldn't find any way to send a text message to a cell phone without relying on the Internet connection.
