Hi all.

According to the docs, this file should be supplied with hobbit (for
sending sms alerts), but I cannot find it on my system and google gives me
suprisingly little. (
http://www.google.is/search?hl=is&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=smsalert+%2Bhobbit&btnG=Leita&lr=)

Can anybody point out to me where to get the file? Or is it obselute?

Regards,
Benedikt

I think the docs have confused you, "smsalert" is not supplied with
Hobbit. It is merely used in the hobbit-alerts.cfg comments to
show how you can run a custom script when an alert triggers.

You'll have to come up with an SMS script yourself. This depends a 
lot on how your system is setup and what kind of SMS capabilities
you have, but look around for some tools for your OS - on Linux,
there is smsclient, gnokii and several others that can communicate
with a GSM phone or modem.

I kinda thought the whole point of SMS alerts was in case your email
infrastructure went down...

At least, that's why we use it.
