I would like to create/translate sendsms to vbs file, so it cn be run from widows on, and not just the cygwin

any ideas

thanks

Instead of creating a new vbs file, try this idea:

In the Cygwin create a new file /usr/local/bin/win_sendsms with the following content:



Then create a shortcut in Windows into some directory. Name it as Sendsms and set target to:

c:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe /usr/local/bin/win_sendsms

Change the Cygwin installation folder if necessary, and notice slashes and backslashes.

I sent up a folder called scripts
and saved the file as sendsms.bat
added scripts folder to system path.

All is working Ok

The only issue I have now is if I run the script with variables, the details are not carried accross

C:\Scrips\> sendsms 440000000000 "message"
Destination(s): _

So it looks as if I have not entered the details,

thanks

In sendsms.bat add arguments to the call:

c:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe /usr/local/bin/win_sendsms %1 %2

In /usr/local/bin/win_sendsms add arguments too:

/usr/local/bin/sendsms "$1" "$2"

After those additions this should work, but with single recipient only. If your application needs to send the same message to more than one recipient, it should call the batch file as many times as required.
