send_event [-c] message

Use this subcommand to enter an event into the RSC event log. Use the -c option to also send an alert message that RSC forwards according to the alert configuration. The message is an ASCII string of no more than 80 characters. To use a string that includes spaces or UNIX shell special characters, enclose the string in double quotes.

See Appendix C, Creating a Script That Sends an Alert Message or RSC Event for an example of a Perl script that uses this subcommand to send an alert.
