Sure.

In hobbit-alerts.cfg I have:

HOST=mail
     MAIL admin at domain.com REPEAT=20 SERVICE=smtp
#SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/smsalert FORMAT=SMS
#SCRIPT echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | gnokii --sendsms <cell number> FORMAT=SMS

Both of those script calls are commented out as I was trying various
things. Here is my /usr/local/bin/smsalert:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | gnokii --sendsms <cell number>

None of these ideas work. If I use the sendsms method as described in
the examples on the Hobbit site, those don't work either.

Thanks
