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.

       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

       dhhostreason
              Disable host

       dswatchservicereason
              Disable service

       dwwatchreason
              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.
