Send SMS to Cingular users via Terminal
Authored by: rsnyder on Oct 25, '06 01:07:59PM

This is a very helpful hint. I know that there are other ways for people to send messages to cingular sms phones (iChat and email), but this script allows other scripts to send messages to cingular sms phones.

I use Nagios to monitor a bunch of servers, and for reasons that I won't go into here, my Nagios notifications to my phone get dropped by cingular when they are sent via sendmail on my Nagios server.

With this script, I can create a plugin to Nagios that uses this form to send the message, avoiding the "spam blocking" that cingular is using to drop my sendmail messages.

Thank you very much for this useful script.
