hi, expert,
I have created web application with PHP and smstools3. smstools3 is great sms gateway. easy and simple. I have a problem when I tried to read my regular_run_statfile from my web aplication. I've changed file mode of reguler_run_statfile with 777, but when smsd refresh and create this file again, this file back to old mode. mode of reguler_run_statfile : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root.

this is my smsd.conf :
devices = GSM1
logfile = /var/log/smsd.log
loglevel = 7
failed = /var/spool/sms/failed
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
report = /var/spool/sms/report
sent = /var/spool/sms/sent
#delaytime = 60

[GSM1]

#init = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
#init = ATE0+CPMS="SM"+CNMI=2,0,0,2,1
device = /dev/ttyUSB3
incoming = yes
outgoing = yes
report = yes
#pin =
baudrate = 115200
regular_run_interval = 60
regular_run_cmd = AT+CUSD=1,"*388#",15
regular_run_statfile = /var/spool/sms/reguler_run_statfile

how to file canreguler_run_statfile be read with a web application?
thanks

As you want to just read (not write or append) the file, mode 644 is enough. Probably you have tried to open it with write permission, which will fail.

For example this simple PHP script can read the content of a file:

<?php $filename = "/var/spool/sms/regular_run_statfile"; echo "<b>All content:</b><br>"; $content = file_get_contents($filename); echo "<pre>" .$content ."</pre>"; // Or: echo "<b>Content by lines:</b><br>"; $content_array = file($filename); foreach ($content_array as $line) echo $line ."<br>"; ?>

thanks keke for your answer.
I've changed reguler_run_statfile permission with 644. I have can read this file from web application, but 1 minute later this file can not be read again.
error message on browser :
All content:

Warning: file_get_contents(/var/spool/sms/reguler_run_statfile) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/tesphp/view.php on line 6

when i checked on terminal, file permission have changed into -rw-r-----. how to changed reguler_run_statfile with permission 644 permanently ?

Ok, I checked this from sources and there is mode 640 used as a fixed value.

You could modify the sources. Edit file smsd.c and find the line:

if ((fd = open(DEVICE.dev_rr_statfile, O_APPEND|O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0640)) >= 0)

Change it to:

if ((fd = open(DEVICE.dev_rr_statfile, O_APPEND|O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0644)) >= 0)

I will include this fix in the next version.

thanks keke, its work !!!
