Based on Glynn Foster's IRC request I hacked-up a small experiment/toy (see attached script shtwitter.ksh, the file needs Solaris 11 = B72 since it depends on the networking capabilities of the new korn shell) which allows to post messages to a twitter.com blog. ... Does anyone have

What I had been thinking of (but didn't get to as of yet), is generating traps on certain content in /var/adm/messages, which would end up as an SMS on my mobile phone. But I've no idea how to build an SMS gateway, or which software to use. Do I need special hardware (a GSM modem of

Let twitter.com be the SMS gateway for you. What you would do is set it twitter to send you SMS messages for those that you follow. You just inadvertently pointed out a security weakness in my idea with sending SMSes. Stuff would have to get sterilized before being sent to twitter. (I know

Perhaps some of you can shed some light on what I apparently am misunderstanding. Can a device driver be taken from linux, and be run as is (GPL'd and all) on solaris? I was of the belief that once these are linked, you are violating the GPL as the solaris kernel is not GPL'd, and this
