In the Ubuntu package startup script is named /etc/init.d/smstools.

You are right about multiple instances, but in normal single modem use there should be two processes: first one is main process which spools outgoing messages and second one is modem handler.

What version of smsd you are using ( smsd -V ) ?

You were sending SMS to 385922... which is international presentation of a number in Croatia. I assume that this is correct (even when your location is Cambodia), at least international format should always be used (this depends on the version of smsd).

After one minute there was still no any answer from a modem. You might need to define your operators service center number, smsc = <number of the SMSC in international format without the starting "+"> in the modem settings of smsd.conf.

You could also check that your SIM can be used to send messages using an ordinary phone.

And that have fixed my problem

thanks keke now i am able to send sms also! works great

Ok,

just copy smstools3/scripts/sms3 to /etc/init.d and then use this script. It's a part of daemon's functionality and provides a safe shutdown etc.

Thank's for using SMS Server Tools 3

thank you for this wonderfull program !!!

works like charm on Option Icon 225 - T-mobile and ubuntu 9.04 server
