Hi,

For sending SMS message you need to send AT commands to you
mobile
phone. I wrote a program in C and it use to be called by the
nagios.
This program send message packed in AT commands to mobile
phone/GSM
Modem and it sends the SMS message.

I am not sure about perl. If you can do the same in perl
then I think
its not that difficult.

For getting the email, you will have to write a script/code
that gets
the messages from the mail server. But you might be able to
find the
scripts for that too.

Best of luck

I am experiencing difficulty in integrating all these things
together. Like I am able to send SMS through AT command
that’s no issue. But checking for new email and then sending
SMS including contents of email.. that’s the difficult
part...
   
  Any help in this regard.. ??

It is not that difficult, at least not if you are running
something of a
*X system.  Many of these are using procmail as a mail
delivery
subsystem (google procmail) or support .forward settings.

If you cannot run your own mail server you can use fetchmail
to fetch
messages to be delivered locally.

There are actually many differrent ways to achieve what you
want.

cheers
