OK, Here's a challenge for you:
I have a zone-minder setup at home. I also have an old Windows Mobile
2003 HTC Hurricane mobile phone (AKA Orange MPV500).
What I want to do is have ZoneMinder trigger an alarm that then executes
a script that will send an SMS from the Windows Mobile Phone.

Hi all,
A few years ago, there was a flowchart for cold calling where you received the
call and by the end of it knew more about the sales rep than they knew about
you.
Does anyone know where this is or have a copy? I've googled by my keywords
just aren't quite right today... :o(

Ah. Slight problem folks. The instructions appear to have reset all
the files in the music folder so that the owner (diana) and group (root)
are set to 'list, create/delete, no access' and no file permissions
