	What about using SCRIPT facility of alert module ?

If e-mail is not enough

The MAIL keyword means that the alert is sent in an e-mail. Sometimes  this ends up being an SMS to your cell-phone - there are several "e- mail to SMS" gateways that perform this service - but that may not be  what you want to do. And also, for an e-mail to actually be delivered  requires that the mail-server is working. So if you need full control  over how alerts are handled, you can use the SCRIPT method instead.  Here's how:

	HOST=%(www|intranet|support|mail).foo.com SERVICE=http
		SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/smsalert 4538761925 FORMAT=sms
