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.

I need to alert via a numeric page when a red alert happens for certain

We successfully send pages out via sendmail regularly via a script on
another server.
How do I incorporate this method into Hobbit. Do I just use the MAIL
keyword in hobbit-alerts.cfg or is there something else I need to do.
I've checked out all the documentation but cannot get a clue what to do.
