Here's what one user wrote to the list about how
he's doing it shortly before you asked your
question.

It's working!! Great! :D
Well, at first it didn't work, but it seems that
this was related to the format of the message I
want Intermapper to send. You have to write the
message in a row like
"<Event>_<Timestamp>_<Device Name>".
Here is a short summary for all who wants use this as well:
You need:
- Intermapper ;)
- An old cellphone with a serial connection to
the Intermapper machine. This could be via cable
or even bluetooth. Please don't forget the power
supply. Unfortunately most of the cellphones are
not able to connect to power and a serial cable
simultaneously. As far as I know only the Nokias
are able to do this. But I am using a Sony
Ericsson T610 with Bluetooth for example.
- Gammu (www.gammu.net). This seems to be a real
powerful open source application to control
cellphones. They are a little focused on Nokias
and Siemens but it works also with other models.
As mentioned above I use Sony Ericsson T610.
There are versions for Linux, MacOS X and
Windows. I have only used Gammu under Windows
Server 2003 and XP.
This is how it works:
- Connect phone and Intermapper machine
- put the gammu files in the Intermapper "tools" directory
- edit the gammurc with your correct values like
comport, phonetype and if necessary atcommand.
It's all documented in the gammurc and quite
easy.
- I wrote a small .bat file called sms.bat with
one single line: echo %1 | gammu --sndsms TEXT
017212345678
- In Intermapper create a commandline notifier.
- In the "Command:" field type: sms.bat "${MESSAGE}"
- Press "Edit Messages..."
- edit the message you want to send. I have had
a problem with space or linebreaks, so I avoid
them. This will be something like this:
<Event>_<Timestamp>_<Device Name>. You can do
whatever you like. I guess there will be a
limitation of the number of characters.
That's it. Now you will be able to be contacted
directly from the Intermapper server even when
your Internet connection or your mail server
goes down. Or maybe get a message when you have
no emailclient available.
A special thanks goes to Christopher Sweeney who has helped me a lot today.
Have a nice Sunday :)
