In the March/April, 1994 issue of SysAdmin, on page 71, there was an excellent
article on using UUCP as an early-warning system to your pager...I followed
the scripts and successfully installed a similar system with modifications
customized to my site.  The ftp site for the source is ftp.uu.net...look for
../published/sysadmin/1994...look for that month's issue under this directory.

Hope this helps!
