Write a Review

Description:

Basically I was looking for a way to send SMS message through a free gateway. Of course this will only work if you don’t have an internet outage. If you have redundant connections most of the time you should be good.

This uses curl and a free sms service called textbelt.com

You can git clone this project via:

cd /home/yourusername
git clone https://github.com/closerwalk/send_textbelt_sms.git
Then copy to send_textbelt_sms to /usr/local/nagios/libexec and chmod +x it.

Or download it below:
