define command {
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line $USER1$/notify_worldtext_sms.pl -i ACCOUNTID -k APIKEY -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTNAME$) Info($SERVICEOUTPUT$) Date($SHORTDATETIME$)"
}

define command {
command_name host-notify-by-sms
command_line $USER1$/notify_worldtext_sms.pl -i ACCOUNTID -k APIKEY -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
}
