hello!

I installed smstools and I can not send a message on an Ubuntu 10.04 via gprs modem Wavecom branded connected to the serial port. Here is the configuration of my smsd.conf:

GPRS devices =
logfile = / var / log / smsd.log
loglevel = 7
[tails]
[provider]

[GPRS]
device = / dev/ttyS0
incoming = no
baudrate = 9600
rtscts = yes



here's the order I entered to send a message:

sudo-u smsd sh-c 'echo-e "To: 23733113410 \ n \ nHello world">> / var/spool/sms/outgoing/msg1'

Here is the error message that was sent to me by typing sudo tail-f / var / log / smsd.log:

I am a beginner, please, what should I do?

I do not understand that command line...

Start smsd using the script /etc/init.d/smstools or /etc/init.d/sms3 and try to send SMS with a script sendsms.

How did you install smstools, from sources or from package repository?

( I moved this topic to Help and support forum, because it was not a bug report )

smstools I installed from source.
This is the message which was displayed after installation:

How to send sms with a script sendsms?

Just type sendsms

the same error message. that is to say:

Error message is the same one, see timestamps.

Someone stopped smsd and now it is not running. When smsd is not running, of course messages are not sent. Do the following:

- become a root (sudo su)
- start smsd: /etc/init.d/sms3 start
- from the log verify that smsd surely is running
- try to send SMS with sendsms

I tried and the result:

administrator@rmcmdlad00010:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for administrator:
