can we use smstools3 to handle on demand ussd command....?

so i will only get ussd answer when i need it, not in regular run....

if yes, how?

thanks

Use the regular run...

For example, define:

regular_run_post_run = /var/spool/sms/rr.sh
regular_run_cmdfile = /var/spool/sms/GSM1_regular_run_cmdfile
regular_run_statfile = /var/spool/sms/GSM1_regular_run_statfile
regular_run_logfile = /var/log/GSM1_regular_run.log
regular_run_interval = 30

The regular_run_cmdfile is checked every 30 seconds. If this file does not exist, nothing is done. When you need the USSD information, put your command to the regular_run_cmdfile. Smsd will send the command to the modem, and the answer is written to the regular_run_logfile and to the regular_run_statfile. The script regular_run_post_run is executed after the answer is received. That script can capture the answer and do whatever is required.

If you are using USSD for getting the balance of a prepaid SIM, check this newly created sample: Sample config and script for regular_run and balance of prepaid SIM using USSD.

Or are you using USSD for other purposes?

that's right, i'm using ussd command for checking balance.... thank you for your big help keke....

but i think later on maybe i will use ussd for another purpose, but for now i stick to checking balance purpose... hope that i'm able to use your sample script
