Beeper script for mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi!

Last year, someone (Sorry, but I really don't remember neither his name nor his email 
address) sold me a numeric pager and he included a script to automatically call a pager
if a check for new vgetty messages is positiv. Just call this script via crontab as often as 
you want.

I just enhanced the script with a BUSY detection which checks the debug.log file
for an incoming "Y" (Which normally doesn't appears in the dialog).

It works fine for quiet a year now.  

Enjoy, Fabian
