i've heard that cdma might be tricky (mostly usa system, right ?)

if you can send messages through it using commandline, it should be perfectly usable as a custom alert script.

if not, you might need a different modem - nelsonab was talking about some modem he had found that would be usable in usa cellular networks.

no, im from Vietnam bro

May you give me which command line which i use to send sms?

thanks

that depends on your modem. i have never even seen a cdma one - refer to the modem documentation.

"A CDMA modem is a wireless modem that works with CDMA networks. A CDMA modem can be an external unit or a PCMCIA card (also called PC Card). An external CDMA modem is connected to a PC through a serial cable, a USB cable, Bluetooth or Infrared. Unlike GSM modems, CDMA modems and phones do not require a SIM card from a wireless carrier in order to operate.
CDMA modems are activated by the network once you subscribe to a CDMA service provider." Source: somewhere on the net.

And: "CDMA modems support an extended set of AT commands, please note that not all CDMA modems use the same commands for sending SMS !
These extended AT commands are defined in the CDMA standards."

THUHV you will need to use the AT commands. Write a script that you can execute on the command line. When you have that working you can then create Media type 'script' to call your script. Zabbix will pass 3 parameters to that script - ToNumber, Subject, Message.

How to write the script? Don't know! But this link may be useful http://www.developershome.com/sms/ho...dSMSFromPC.asp

There are also these two on the wiki, it won't help you directly but should be useful in helping you to write the script http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/config/alerts/smsapi?s[]=sms

Strange, in Part 1 it says:

Create a file in the directory, you specified in the zabbix_server.conf, key AlertScriptsPath: # Location for custom alert scripts
AlertScriptsPath=/usr/local/zabbix/ called smsclickatell, and ensure that it's executable (chmod 755 smsclickatell).

But then in Part 3 it says:

test it, by running:
/home/zabbix/bin/smsclickatell +4471234123123 "Test message"

I would put it in the location of your AlertScriptsPath. Call it smsclickatell or anything else you want to call it.
