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.
