SMS send from script

[Jeff Eigner]

I’m using sms-utils to send messages. My H/W is BeagleBone Black – MTD-H5. Is it possible to place an entire sms message in a single string?

I.E. sms -d /dev/ttyACM3 <address> <text body>

I don’t see anything that describes non-interactive mode, is that the mode I need to use?

Thanks

Jeff,

You can put the text body in a file and use the -f option

~# sms send
usage: send [ OPTIONS ... ] < number >
where  OPTIONS := {
         --alphabet { seven-bit | eight-bit } |
         -f, --file < input-file > |
         --smsc-addr < smsc-addr > |
         --cmgw-first
       }

Thanks Brandon!

I got my “help” from ~# sms
Usage: sms [ OPTIONS … ] { send | read | list | delete }
where OPTIONS := {
-d, –device <device> |
-b, –baud-rate <rate> |
-i, –interactive |
-n, –non-interactive |
–read-timeout <timeout> (default: 5000 milliseconds) |
–verbose
}
Should have tried ~# sms send
