Here's what I do -

cut the message down to 150 characters (allows spatch room for

a security code on echelon pages

TEXT=echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | grep "&red" TEXTP=echo "!BB ! - ${BBHOSTSVC} [${ACKCODE}] $FIXED- ${TEXT}" | paste -sd" " | cut -c 1-150

The grep for &red pulls out only the lines in alphamsg that have a 'red' indicator - for tests like procs or oratab that have multiple lines. The "!BB!" is a holdover; I don't remember why we did it. "FIXED" will be null ("") or "FIXED" depending on the $RECOVERED value - and the entire message gets cut to the first 150 characters (our current paging package puts in it's own acknowledgement code at the start of the message). The paste -sd" " converts the newlines into spaces before the cut process.

Hello,

I am trying to get a custom message sent from Hobbit via sms. All I want is the hostname with a short message sent after it.

So far I have

#!/bin/bash echo "${BBHOSTNAME:0:160} cpu is red" | gnokii --sendsms 1234567890

I am using gnokii as the gate way. I think my variable is what is causing the problem, can someone see where I have gorn wrong?
