Using AlphaNumeric Pagers from the Web and unix, VMS terminal sessions

You can now send pages to the fancy Alpha pagers from computers: via the web or from SLAC unix or VMS terminal sessions.

How?

• web (note: this can only be executed from SLAC nodes)
• VMS: (SLACVX cluster only at the moment)
  • $ telalert -i who -m "what"
• unix:
  • prompt% telalert -i who -m 'what'

who is a SLAC computer account name, eg. sldrc or tonyj

what is the message you want to send. I believe it needs to be less than 256 characters.

Caveat:

During the changeover to the new Alpha pagers, it is not clear how quickly user names will get bound to the pagers.
