Hi ..

Is this the right place for questions about a topich in the sms server tools manual?

I have bought the sms3 server tools manual, but I cant get the

Hidden private text.

script to work properly.

I have created the file, but when I put this

Hidden private text.

into /etc/init.d/sms3 file, then sms tools wont start up.

Error output:
$ sms3 start /etc/init.d/sms3: line 18: -s: command not found Starting SMS Daemon: /etc/init.d/sms3: line 57: MAINPROCESS: command not found smsd failed.

Can you help me with this ?

Best Regards

The book SMS Applications is about the version 2.x and that feature does not work with the init.d script of version 3 without some modifications. Instead of changing the DAEMON= setting, a call "$DAEMON $ARGS" could be modified.

But in the version 3.x there is much better monitoring available. As you have compiled smsd with statistics enabled, try the following global settings:

stats = /var/spool/sms/stats
stats_interval = 0
stats_no_zeroes = yes

Create that directory, and after restarting smsd normally, without any changes in the sms3 script, try the following command:

while true; do clear; cat /var/spool/sms/stats/status; sleep 1; done

Hi Keke

It shows "ber: ??" and "bash: clear: command not found" <- Is this because im using Cygwin?

My gole is to make the status visible using a website. I have the code using the manual for v.2, but not your v.3. Is it possible to show the status as a website and do you have any example?

If the modem does not support Bit Error Rate, use the modem setting signal_quality_ber_ignore = yes to disable it.

This is how I show status in the web page:
