But in general a standard (from nokia) to use the jolla phone as a external modem to script specific phone tasks (initiate call, send sms etc..).
Like incorporating a jolla phone to a nagios installation, when a critical issue is raised, icinga via eventhandlers calls a script which using gnokii as middlehand uses the jolla phone to call or sms the on duty personel. (a static call higher probability to wake up rather than sms:) )

Very good request even though probably not really useful for a vast majority of users. Also having a EUR399 smartphone laying around connected to a machine to provide notification does not seem to be valuable. A rather old Nokia phone (we use a 6310 in my company for very similar purpose) will do the same job for you at a fraction of price.

For a company, a phone for €399 is not much when you know what you gain with for example nagios integration Once you have it setup you cant live without it, its a very good alternative to pagerduty.com

Looking at the powerful gadgets sold these days I believe once Sailfish is installable on those quad-core beasts with 4GB RAM it would even be quite easy to run the Nagios server itself on them :D
