NORSK is a web based utility that allows administrators of Nortel Contivity switches to delegate the ability for other groups (such as a Call Center or Helpdesk) to terminate orphaned sessions on Nortel Contivity switches. This is done using a web interface and does not require granting full administrative rights on those devices. You can find more details and the link to download the tool here.

Sendpage hack

sendPage is UNIX based utility to send alphanumeric pages via TAP. It is great as a means to send “out of band” Nagios alerts. A simple PHP script is included in the distribution to allow you to send pages via a simple web page. But in order to send the pages you need to remember the recipient address in the form number@PC (PC stands for Paging Central – see the sendPage documentation for more information). Since I already have too many things to remember I wrote a quick and dirty hack to the sendpage.php script to list the valid recipients from the sendpage.conf file in /etc as a table at the top of the form. Your web server will need to be able to read /etc/sendpage.conf, so be sure to check permissions.
