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.
