9537.0. "cu command" by MSE1::RAO () Thu Apr 17 1997 10:41

    
    Hi,
         I tried to use "cu" command to dial a phone to beep network
         operator when certain type of alarm is received by a TeMIP network
         management station on Digital UNIX
    
         Used the following script and it does not work...
         any help appreciated. I noticed that when I run this
         cu command does not get dev or telephone information
    
    
    
    # EXAMPLE:
    #       beep_95lx 9,1-800-555-7243 123456 2001

        # each input field and a final pound sign to confirm.  Other paging
        # systems may require different commands.
        # As is typical with the "AT" dial set commas separate the commands
        # with a short pause.  Add several pauses after dialing to be sure
        # we have gotten through the phone system
