gammu-smsd - SMS daemon for Gammu
gammu-smsd [OPTION]...
This manual page documents briefly the gammu-smsd command.
gammu-smsd is a program that periodically scans GSM modem for received messages, stores them in defined storage and also sends messages enqueued in this storage.
The daemon can reload configuration file after sending hangup signal (SIGHUP) and properly terminates itself on SIGINT and SIGTERM.
Program accepts following options (please note that long options might be not accepted on some platforms):
If you run SMSD as a system daemon (or service), it is recommended to use absolute path to configuration file as startup directory might be different than you expect.
See gammu-smsdrc for configuration file documentation.
New in version 1.31.90.
New in version 1.31.90.
SMSD can be controlled using following POSIX signals (if your platform supports this):
Changed in version 1.22.91: Added support for SIGHUP.
Changed in version 1.22.95: Added support for SIGALRM.
Changed in version 1.31.90: Added support for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
Start SMSD as a daemon on Linux:
gammu-smsd --config /etc/gammu-smsdrc --pid /var/run/gammu-smsd.pid --daemon
Start SMSD as a daemon on Linux with reduced privileges:
gammu-smsd --config /etc/gammu-smsdrc --pid /var/run/gammu-smsd.pid --daemon --user gammu --group gammu
To use SMSD as a daemon, you might want to use init script which is shipped with Gammu in contrib/init directory. It is not installed by default, either install it manually or check INSTALL file for instructions.
Under Windows 7 you might need to disable UAC (user account control) before you will be able to install SMSD service.
Install Gammu SMSD Windows service:
gammu-smsd.exe -c c:\Gammu\smsdrc -i
Install two instances of SMSD Windows service:
gammu-smsd.exe -c c:\Gammu\smsdrc-1 -n Gammu-first-phone -i gammu-smsd.exe -c c:\Gammu\smsdrc-2 -n Gammu-second-phone -i
To uninstall a Windows service:
gammu-smsd.exe -u
If Gammu fails to start as a Windows service (you will usually get "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"), first check your SMSD logs. If they do not contain any useful hint, try starting SMSD manually with exactly same parameters as you installed the service (without -i).
For example the command line can look like:
gammu-smsd.exe -c smsdrc
You now should be able to get errors from SMSD even if it fails to start as a service.
As you can not run Gammu and Gammu SMSD at same time on signle device, you can workaround this limitation by suspending SMSD temporarily using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals (see also Signals):
SMSD_PID=`pidof gammu-smsd` if [ -z "$SMSD_PID" ] ; then
echo "Failed to figure out SMSD PID!" else
kill -SIGUSR1 $SMSD_PID
gammu identify
kill -SIGUSR2 $SMSD_PID fi
Or even create a gammu-safe script:
#!/bin/bash SMSD_PID=`pidof gammu-smsd` if [ -z "$SMSD_PID" ] ; then
gammu $@ else
tty=$(lsof |grep -E "gammu-sms\s+$SMSD_PID\s+.*/dev/tty*"|awk {'print $NF'})
kill -SIGUSR1 $SMSD_PID
while test "$(fuser $ttyfuser $tty 2> /dev/null|xargs)" = $SMSD_PID
do
sleep 1
done
sleep 1
gammu $@
kill -SIGUSR2 $SMSD_PID
while test "$(fuser $ttyfuser $tty 2> /dev/null|xargs)" != $SMSD_PID
do
sleep 1
done
sleep 1 fi
You can not use same phone by more programs in same time. However in case you did not enable locking in [gammu] section, it might be able to start the communication with phone from more programs. In this case neither of the programs will probably work, see Invoking Gammu and suspending SMSD for workaround.
There is no way to detect that SMS message is reply to another by looking at message headers. The only way to achieve this is to add some token to the message and let the user include it in the message on reply.
