Overview

This tool is used to send a page via the Simple Network Paging Protocol (level 2). It is designed to be used with 'sendpage', but should work with any other SNPP servers as well.

The /etc/sendpage/snpp.conf file can contain a single line in the form of

        server:ADDRESS[:PORT]

where ADDRESS and PORT are the defaults for snpp.

Bugs

Not much happening in this tool, but I bet the use of "CALLer id" is not standard, and other SNPP server may require this tool run with the '-n' option all the time.

From sendpage-client 1.0.3-1.1 in Debian 11 (Bullseye). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
