Very Computer

I'm trying to come up with a good method of having the mail server page me
when an e-mail comes to a specific account...

I have all the event based scripts that will parse the message for key
headers and such to produce the wanted code.  And it'll trigger whatever
other script I want it too.

Now, I'm having trouble writing a small script to propely utilize 'cu' to
call out and send a numeric message...

Any suggestions?  An alphanumeric system would be nice too...

Thanks...

This is the reason the program 'expect' was written, and one of its demo
programs is dialing up a pager service, and sending it a message, exactly
what you want.
