Ok. http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+SNPP is where I started.

"Command Line Paging
     * You can send a page from the command line by starting the g-page 
client with the pager name and message as arguments"


To be honest, I've never used any of these. I usually just send an email 
to an alias that forwards to the various addresses that I need it to go 
to. After looking at the features of g-page I'm considering giving it a 
try.
