Actually you could use Rannel ([http://rubyforge.org/projects/rannel](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rannel))  
in conjunction with kannel to be able to send SMS messages with Ruby.  
If not you will have to code the SMPP protocol yourself (which would  
make a nice project though).

Regards,

I have done similar things for network/server/logfile monitoring using  
the included net/smtp library. I just conditionally send mail messages  
to my cell phone’s associated e-mail address. Works fine. As long as  
you know how to format the recipient address depending on your cell  
provider. For example, in the U.S. my Verizon Wireless phone would be  
like area code+phone removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid.
