Operating system name and version: Debian 7
Version of smsd: 3.1.15
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem : Huawei e352
Interface: USB

I have working configuration, but it works only if I restart smsd manually (user:root), without restart I get error in smsd.log:
/var/spool/sms/regular_run: line 19: sendsms: command not found

This is my regular_run script:
#!/bin/bash SQL_HOST=xxx SQL_USER=xxx SQL_PASSWORD=xxx SQL_DATABASE=xxx TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/smsd_outgoing_qr_XXXXXX`; TMP_ID=`mktemp /tmp/smsd_outgoing_id_XXXXXX`; echo "connect $SQL_DATABASE user $SQL_USER password \"$SQL_PASSWORD\" ;" > $TMPFILE; echo "set heading off;" >>$TMPFILE; echo "select id,phone,content from sms_messages where timestamp2 is null and try_count=0 and msg_ref is null and direction=0 ;" >> $TMPFILE; isql-fb -ch UTF8 -i $TMPFILE -q | sed '/^$/d' > $TMP_ID; unlink $TMPFILE; cat $TMP_ID | while read id phone content;do sendsms $phone "$content"; TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/smsd_outgoing_qr_XXXXXX`; echo "connect $SQL_DATABASE user $SQL_USER password \"$SQL_PASSWORD\" ;" > $TMPFILE; echo "update sms_messages set try_count=1 where id=$id;" >> $TMPFILE; isql-fb -ch UTF8 -i $TMPFILE -q; unlink $TMPFILE; done unlink $TMP_ID;

I've added path to sendsms (/usr/local/bin/sendsms), but then I get another error:
smsd: ! iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0

Again, if I restart smsd manually, everything works. Autostart enabled by command: update-rc.d sms3 defaults , maybe this is not correct? How to enable autorun smsd with root privileges?

Problem solved, added "-f UTF-8" option to iconv command in sendsms script.

Problem was in locale, default locale for daemon is POSIX, but text to send in UTF-8.

I have the same problem, and this is my solution:

in /etc/rc.local
LANG=en_HK.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_HK:en
export LANG
export LANGUAGE
/usr/local/bin/smsd

try the secure solution :
chown smsd.smsd /var/spool/sms/regular_run chmod ug=rwx,o= /var/spool/sms/regular_run

or

try to pur regular_run in /usr/bin/ (but not as secure solution, all users on the server can run this script) !
