How to raise an alert to BBPAGER from own program (WAS:{bb} Do not get mails for error - only warn (?))

[Lasse Wieslander <bb@wieslander.dk>]

Hi gys

As I understand on this previus mail, my program have to send the status message to the BBDISPLAY box in order to show the webpage (it does that) and an alert message to the BBPAGER in order to get paged on red status.

Could somebody point me to some info on how that is done? BBPAGER and BBDISPLAY is the same box....

best regards
Lasse
