Re: Mass SMS

Hello,

This is just my two cents. However, when we used the 'BB' suite here, it turned
out to be what I consider shoddy at best. The user interface does not look all
that appealing to start off.

I have found that the best resource for this type of activity, is to use Nagios
with their plug-ins. It is a little bit harder to get started with, however,
http://www.nagiosconfig.com makes life a lot easier.

This product is just a lot more robust than 'BB', and you could easily acheive
the mass SMS that you desire with a simple command definition.

Hi,

I know that it is possible to configure BigBrother (http://bb4.org) in such a
way.

BB is basically a software to monitor the availability/reachability of IP
addresses, services, processes, etc..

In case of an outage you configure it to send a mail (maybe to tome mail2sms
gateway?).

If you take a look at the software description at http://bb4.org/features.html
there´s somethin about SMS at "Notification", so some kind of "native" SMS
delivery also seems possible.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Emre

Zitat von Odhiambo Washington <wash@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:


I have a few hundred VIP clients (yes, some are more VIP than others)
who I'd like to notify, via SMS, whenever we have any network problem
and also immediately such a
problem is resolved.

What I'm looking for is some software that I can use to do this,
within FreeBSD. I hope one of the experts in this area has done
one so I don't have to wait for the invention.
`make search key=sms` from within the ports did give some apps,
but I did not see one that is capable of looking at a database
of contact numbers and sending that one sms to all of them.
Of course I do expect a reply/delivery report after sending the sms.

Any good pointers will be appreciated.
