NAME
snpp - send pages via SNPP
SYNOPSIS
snpp [OPTIONS] recipient...

- -f USER
- Show that the sent page is coming from USER. Default is the current user.
- -m MESSAGE
- Send the given MESSAGE instead of reading text from stdin.
- -n
- Do not notify the 'from' user about the status of the page.

DESCRIPTION
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.
