RE: {bb} qpage message sizes

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT@nibco.com>]

I don't use quickpage, but I hacked this together to support sms text
messages to phones:

# cut the message down to 150 characters (allows spatch room for
# a security code on echelon pages

TEXT=`echo "!BB ! - ${BBALPHAMSG}" | paste -sd" " | cut -c 1-150`

This is in an external paging script -- $TEXT becomes the message passed
to the pager/phone/whatever.

Subject: {bb} qpage message sizes

Hello,

My alpha pagers only support 500 characters.  Originally qpage was
breaking up my bb messages into 80 character pieces, but I was able to
fix that.

But still I get two messages per BB alert, because they are over 500
characters.

Is there a way to shorten the notices that BB uses for quickpage?

Shane
