I am looking for a email/alphanumeric capable paging program for Windows 2000 Servers. I would like to use this software in conjunction with the performance software alerts. When a threshold is reached the alert emails/pages an on call person to check the machine. Is there a good shareware product I could use?
Thanks

I use ServersAlive to monitor, and free utility called mapisend to send an email to both my desktop, and my cellphone.

Servers alive (www.serversalive.com) is free if you monitor 10 or less services. There is a link on the website to mapisend.
Mapisend is a bit of a chore to get working, so look over the instructions carefully, and this is a cut and paste from mine (email is changed)...

c:\progra~1\salive\external\mapisend -u "kevinanderson" -p "password" -r my.email@domain.com -s "Dynegy Server Warning" -m "Please contact Kevin @ 555-555-5555. Server X not responding to pings."

Have Fun.
Kev.
