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?

Your suggestion indicates you do not understand what he was trying to do :) He was trying to cut the hostname short, by having a maximum of 160 characters. http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html (see the section Substring Extraction)
It is a feature for BASH shells, but maybe some modern Bourne shells have it as well (I know I used it on some modern HP/UX with their standard /bin/sh) So putting the :0:160 outside the brackets would not yield the desired result. On the other hand, hostnames rarely go that long, so cutting it short seems quite useless.
I am not familiar with gnokii, but does it actually take a message from stdin? Or does it normally use a 'gnokii --sendsms <number> <message>' format? Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with your syntax.

You are correct. I never program bash scripts. I have always used bourne only to ensure the script will run on any server I put it on without going through hoops (just how I was raised). Most modern shells have a Bourne-shell mode when called as /bin/sh. Many modern linux distros have sh either hardlinked or symlinked to bash. Didn't realize you could do string manipulation like that (I usually just pipe to cut)

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.
HTH

Jarod,
I don't see where your problem is:
This is my alert script rule HOST=home.nouwen.name SERVICE=* SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 3123456789 REPEAT=1h TIME=*:1000:2200 COLOR=red FORMAT=sms
The script contains:
#!/bin/sh #set -vx #debug on:: #echo "/usr/local/bin/sendsms $RCPT $BBALPHAMSG $ACKCODE" >> /tmp/smsd.log /usr/local/bin/sendsms $RCPT "$BBALPHAMSG $ACKCODE"
/usr/local/bin/sendsms is the binary from smsd.
The message is then formatted as:
(see the debug rule)
/usr/local/bin/sendsms 342384723 *home.nouwen.name:conn red [512857 512857*
this is allways smaller then 160 chars, so......
