Due to the possibility of either our exchange server becoming unavailable, or worse yet, something go wrong in the “core” of our network; it was decided that an alternate method of notifications needed to be setup. SMS was the best option as it would be independent of the network and email.
I chose a tool called Gnokii and paired it with an older T-Mobile Motorola Razr connected to the Ubuntu server with a USB cable. The first step was installing Gnokii:
sudo apt-get install gnokii
