SPUG: Perl alert system which will call me

[Peter Darley]

Matthew,
	The problem with this is that I won't know what part of the system is down,
and if the network is down it would be foolish to rely on email.  Plus I
don't have a pager, or an email address for my phone.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

Usually you just send email to your phone or pager.
