Hello
I have set up a script to send out a sms when ever the connection to my proxy server fails.
I have used gammu as a SMS gateway.
The script that I get hobbit to call to reads as following
#!/bin/sh
echo "test" | gammu --sendsms TEXT <Phone Number here>
When I am logged on as the user Hobbit, I can run the script fine. The recipient receives the SMS, so the permissions are fine.
In my hobbits-alerts.cfg I have the following information
HOST=<Host Address> SERVICE=conn
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/smstest <Phone Number>
I know that the variable $rcpt is not being used, I don't need it. The phone number is coded into the script itself. I simply have it so Hobbits will not fail.
When the script runs, the page.log file has this error in it.
2008-06-16 15:24:51 Paging script /usr/local/bin/smstest terminated with status 255
Can I use a custom script like the one I have? Or do I need to use a specific standard.
I don't want any specific information in the sms, just a notification that is has fallen over.
Currently, I just want it to send the 'test' sms.
Is what I am trying to achieve possible?
If it is, what have I done wrong?
Thanks

Try with the full path to 'gammu'. (the running hobbit env on your sys may be different than your shell).
I use the same method but not with true SMS, I just use mail.
example below.
page-primary.sh /bin/mail -s "$BBSVCNAME $BBHOSTNAME $MACHIP $CFID" mycellphone at myprovider.tld < /dev/null
hobbit-alerts.cfg GROUP=linux,web SERVICE=* SCRIPT /path/to/page-primary.sh FORMAT=sms COLOR=red

New error now
Error opening device, you don't have permissions. 2008-06-16 16:15:16 Paging script /usr/local/bin/smstest terminated with status 255
So now it is saying I don't have permission.
But I can execute the script fine from the hobbit user.
Something has gorn haywire.
