[hobbit] SMS paging

[Gary Baluha]

I wrote a custom external server-side script to do just that.  Consider the
license as open source.  To use the script, in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file,
use something like this:
SCRIPT /var/hobbit/server/ext/oursms <distro list> REPEAT=1h
COLOR=red,purple

#!/bin/sh
#
# Author:       Gary Baluha
# Created On:   3-16-2006
# Description:  Adds a searchable subject string to SMS-formatted messages
#               to allow client-side filtering of possible duplicate alerts.
# NOTES:        BBHOSTSVC = The host affected, and the name of the alert
#               BBALPHAMSG = The full alert message (same as
#                               BBHOSTSVC [ACKCODE] if FORMAT=SMS)
#               ACKCODE = The ack code for the alert
#               BBCOLORLEVEL = The color of the alert (red, yellow, etc)
#
# REVISION HISTORY:
# =================
# Ver.  Date            Author  Notes

#                               addition to the name of the alert

echo -e "${message}" | mail -s "${subject}" $RCPT
