NAME

skymon - "moncmd" interface to a SkyTel 2-way pager

DESCRIPTION

skymon This is a "moncmd" interface to a SkyTel 2-way pager.

It utilizes procmail filters and password authentication to do its trick. I would not call this a "secure" authentication mechanism, but in Marcus Ranum-speak it is "really nice". Use at your own risk.

It would be even more "really nice" if this did SecureID or S/Key.

Also keep in mind that all queries and all results pass through the Great Wide Internet to get back to your pager.

OPERATION

Commands are sent via email with the following format:

/password:command

Commands are the following, and can only be used if they exist in the "allow" file:

	eh		Enable host
	es		Enable service
	ew		Enable watch

dh host reason

Disable host

ds watch service reason

Disable service

dw watch reason

Disable watch

	lf		List failures
	ld		List disabled

The idea behind the brevity is that it’s a pain to compose messages on that silly little keypad.
