Operating system name and version: Centos 7 x86_64
Version of smsd: 3.1.15
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: MTS 423s (Huawei E3531s)
Interface: USB

Could You tell if it is some workaround for situation except modifying source of smsd:



After restart smsd I get:

Queues are used, but GSM1 is not served by any modem. Modem GSM1 have outgoing disabled.

How to start smsd but disable outgoing on separate modem? I've tried:

1. Remove GSM1 from [queues] and remove queues=modemname from [GSM1]. Result is "Queues are used, but GSM1 has no queue(s) defined."

2. Remove GSM1 from [queues] and add outgoing=yes to [GSM1]. Result is "Queues are used, but GSM1 has no queue(s) defined."

3. Remove GSM1 from [queues] and add queues=modemname to [GSM1]. Obvously, fail - Queue GSM1 not found for device GSM1.

4. Set GSM1 = /var/spool/sms/queues/fakeGSM1 (exists, but always empty) and outgoing=yes. In this case, IMHO, GSM1 will look into /var/spool/sms/outgoing (as it is set in header of config) and take sms-files from there and send them because he has outgoing=yes.

5. Do not enumerate GSM1 in "devices" variable in header and remove GSM1 from queues. But it will completely remove modem from engine and disable incoming sms on it.

How to work around? To disable sms-sending via GSM1, keep queues in configuration and start smsd without errors without modifying source of smsd

Thank You in advance.

Case 1 will work with the next version.

Case 4 works, because if queues are used, only messages from queue directories are sent. Modems never use outgoing directory, it is only handled by the main spooler. If queues are not in use, modems use checked directory.

With the current version you could define queues=GSM2 for GSM1 modem, as it has outgoing=no.

yes, i was mistaken in message, i meant "checked" dir.


And tell please, will it be critically erroneous if i put such sms-file:


directly into /var/spool/sms/queues/GSM1 ? As we see, It has no message_id header, is it important? For example , messages sent by this way, in "sent" directory already have "message_id" header.

You can put a file directly to the spooler, but using lock file is strongly recommended. When modem process sees the file, it must be complete. For example you could create a file <randomfilename>.LOCK. Smsd skips the file with this extension. Write the file and close it, then rename the .LOCK extension away.

Message_id header is added to the file after message is sent.
