Paul -
Without some debug on your part, I doubt that there is anything we can say. Did
you look in the nvpagerd.alog or nvpagerd.errlog for clues as to what happened?
And you neglected to even say whether you were using NT or UNIX, and what level
of NetView. Since you said "tty" I am guessing UNIX. What flavor?
When nvpage works, that means that the page has been put on nvpagerd's queue.
The message "message sent successfully" does not mean the page has been sent,
only that the page command has been successfully put on nvpagerd's queue. The
only way to use a different tty than the one you start with it to stop nvpagerd,
edit the nvpager.config file where the tty is specified, and change it.
If this happens frequently, I would suggest you add the "-d" flag to nvpagerd's
ovsuf record so that he will trace all the time. But then you will have to
monitor /usr/OV/log/nvpagerd.alog to make sure it doesn't eat all your space.
It gets overwritten when the daemon gets restarted.

Subject: [NV-L] nvpager - reset modem
We rely on nvpagerd as our callout mechanism, being driven by TEC and responding
to alerts from Maestro and Netview. The TEC fires a script which searches
through a home grown calendar mechanism to see who to call. It also escalates
if nobody responds within a certain time.
However, it all fell over yesterday when nvpagerd stopped working. In the end I
turned the modem off and on, restarted nvpagerd and all was OK again.
Any guesses why this is and how I can avoid it in the future. The problem is
that the nvpage worked, otherwise I would consider running nvpagerd on two
machines and if one fails, then run it on the other.
Can I reset the modem between each pager? Can I force it to use another tty?
Thanks
