Just for clarification, that's a function of the product's current
configuration, not of the PageSentry product itself.
Most of these network service monitoring products we've seen,
including PageSentry, can be configured to send terse messages to
sysadmins who are receiving text pages, as well as more detailed
messages to those receiving e-mail. They can also be configured to
avoid sending notifications during scheduled maintenance periods.
