Installing smsnotify

  1. Create an sms directory on the same level as your calendar server's unison directory. This directory is referred to hereafter as <smsdir>.
    For example, if your calendar server is installed in /users/unison, substitute /users/sms for <smsdir> in the following steps. Similarly, if your calendar server is installed in C:\users\unison, substitute C:\users\sms instead.
  2. Extract the contents of the smsnotify package to <smsdir>.
  3. If your calendar server runs on a Solaris platform, add <smsdir> to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Ensure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable also contains your calendar server installation directory.
  4. If your calendar server runs on an HP-UX platform, add <smsdir> to the SHLIB_PATH variable. Ensure that the SHLIB_PATH variable also contains your calendar server installation directory.

Configuring your calendar server

  1. Stop the calendar server.
  2. Modify the following values in your calendar server's unison.ini file:
    Table 1: Calendar server configuration parameters for smsnotify
    Section Parameter Value
    [NOTIFY] sms TRUE
    [CWS] noreqsleep 5

    		smsnotifyprogram Windows:
