Paging

Hi all,
Is there a paging utility in UNIX, when we can page some one for some condition

Best Regards

Post your OS and version although I doubt that will matter as I have never seen paging software come with an OS (but I could be wrong!).

As far as paging, if the pager has an email address such as
9995555443@skytel.com, then you can simply build a script to use mailx (or your favorite mail interface) and send the pager a message. Or even from the command prompt.

% mailx -s"Pager msg" xxxxxxxxxxxx@mypager.com < /tmp/newmsg.txt

You can build a script to prompt for the information such as Subject, who you are paging, message. This can also be done to be added to a web page.
