In hobbit-alerts.cfg I have:

Both of those script calls are commented out as I was trying various things. Here is my /usr/local/bin/smsalert:
#!/bin/sh echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | gnokii --sendsms <cell number>
Your SCRIPT command is partially wrong; the "recipient" parameter is missing. This is typically the phone-number for the SMS recipient. If you don't want to use it, just put some dummy value there. This parameter is passed to the script as $RCPT.
I tested it myself, and found two possible problems:
Make sure the "hobbit" user can access the serial port. In my setup, the user must be in the "dialout" group to access the /dev/ttyS0 file (the serial port device); check the file permissions on your serial device.
gnokii complains if the message test is more than 160 characters. Change your script command to echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:160}" | gnokii --sendsms "$RCPT"
If you still have problems, the ~hobbit/server/logs/page.log has the output from the script commands, so you should check that for errors.

Hi
I have no clue why this still isn't working!
Now in hobbit-alerts.cfg I have:
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/smsalert FORMAT=SMS
And /usr/local/bin/smsalert is:
#!/bin/bash echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:160}" | gnokii --sendsms 012345678
Where 012345678 is my cellnumber. Permissions are fine because user
hobbit can send an sms via the command line by doing echo "hello" | gnokii --sendsms 012345678. I then get an sms.
