Using gnokii to send sms

[Efe Ohimor]

Hello guys,

Has anybody been able to get nagios to send sms using gnokii?I have installed gnokii and I am able to send sms from the command prompt with the sms being successful.But I need the process to be automated such that nagios sends me sms when a host or service is down.Also I noticed that if su to nagios I rececieve the error that nagios permision denied.But when su as root the sms is sent successfully from command prompt.

In my nagios miscommands.cfg file I have

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Host: $HOSTADDRESS$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nDate: $DATETIME$" | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$

while my /etc/gnokiirc file has the following config

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = 6210
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/

[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = on
xdebug = on
