[hobbit] Sending Hobbit alerts to numeric pager

[Manocchia, Robert]

Thanks

  I created a script to grab the info I wanted to send and it worked fine.
I'm now just tweaking it to get meaningful info with the page.

  Thanks.

I would suggest the following:
MAIL <areacode><number>@page.provider.com FORMAT=SMS

from the hobbit-alerts.cfg man page:
FORMAT=formatstring Format of the text message with the alert. Default 
is "TEXT" (suitable for e-mail alerts). "PLAIN" is the same as text, but 
without the URL link to the status webpage. "SMS" is a short message with no

subject for SMS alerts. "SCRIPT" is a brief message template for scripts.

You can also tweak your existing script, for Hobbit to use, If you want to 
customize the message output.
