Dinosaur: Hi All
Well I may as well keep emailing myself.??? or perhaps help others with similar problems.
Discovered the way to start smsd as root from a script or within my application.
echo 'mypassword' | sudo -S SMSD
Then I had to change permissions on the /var/spool/sms/outgoing to allow my application to copy files there.
The next problem is a Linux Mint problem where I want to make sure that the correct usb port
is addressed automatically. I can't simply set ttyUSB0 or 1 as it changes between boots.
Editing the .rules file with a SYMLINK simply does not work.
I have tried dozens of suggestions.
BUT, discovered that Mint creates it's own SYMLINK when it detects a device connected to the usb port.
The thing is that in my code I can do a VERY long path and name to open a port, but smsd is objecting to this.
Can someone tell me what the string length limit is for device ??
device = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller-if00-port0
Regards

Dinosaur: Hi All
I have totally uninstalled and re-installed as per instructions on this site,however when I go to
follow instructions to allow "Running smsd as an unpriviledged user" certain files are not installed.
For example:
PIDFILE smsd.pid
and
INFOFILE smsd.working
Searching the whole disk for them finds no results.
Considering this, how am I going to be able to start smsd at bootup or via a script.?
Setting the correct user and group still does not allow the other user.
Note that when I logon as root, it all works perfectly.
Regards

Hi All
I am having problems activating smsd automatically at boot up.
However, there is no operator keyboard input allowed, so cannot type in password.
Questions:
Why is SMSD installing so it requires root user privileges ??
How can I get SMSD to start automatically.
I am new to Linux, but learning fast.

Dinosaur: Hi All
keke, many thanks for that.
I did two things.
1: I added the smsc after finding it with "smscaster" on Xp
However, it reported a number like +131********
I put the + in front of the number, does that make any difference ?
2. As per your suggestion removed the init.
And it worked after I re-booted.
Just for members information, I will be using this to send report strings from machines in production.
Being able to just copy a file to a folder, and everything is done, is just brilliant.
Otherwise I would have to do all the AT commands from within my software.
Now that I am a member of this forum, I will keep an eye out.
Thank you once again.

Dinosaur: Hi All
Couldn't find an Edit buton for my previous post.
The following is additional info when the unit fails.
2015-10-18 14:08:48,5, GSM1: MODEM IS NOT REGISTERED, WAITING 1 SEC. BEFORE RETRYING 100. TIME
2015-10-18 14:08:49,3, GSM1: Error: Modem is not registered to the network
2015-10-18 14:08:49,2, GSM1: Failed to initialize modem GSM1. Stopping.
2015-10-18 14:08:49,2, GSM1: Modem handler 0 terminated. PID: 1617, was started 15-10-18 14:05:27.
So, obviously it tries 100 times (not 25) , and this time I left a file to send.
When it quit, it moved the file to /checked/ which surprised me as I would have expected it to end up
in /Failed/

If I use the package that came with the modem (smscaster) then I can send sms's without a problem.
The config file below.(only enabled lines shown)
I added some line after browsing the problem.
#
# /etc/smsd.conf
#
# Description: Main configuration file for the smsd
#
devices = GSM1
outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing
checked = /var/spool/sms/checked
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
logfile = /var/log/smstools/smsd.log
infofile = /var/run/smstools/smsd.working
pidfile = /var/run/smstools/smsd.pid
outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing
checked = /var/spool/sms/checked
failed = /var/spool/sms/failed
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
sent = /var/spool/sms/sent
stats = /var/log/smstools/smsd_stats
loglevel = 7
smart_logging = yes
[GSM1]
init = ATZ
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
incoming = no
#pin =
baudrate = 115200
The log line of MODEM IS NOT REGISTERED, WAITING 1 SEC. BEFORE RETRYING 1. TIME
repeats 25 times before quiting.
Is there something obvious here to you guys or is more information needed ?
Does someone have a config file for this modem ?
