The version I'm using is supposed to support the REPORT file, however I'll be darned if I can get it to work.....

If I could find any working examples I could at least try to see if my syntax is correct.....

for example..

Code:

chat -Vs ' ' 'AT+CGMI' 'OK' ' ' > $COMPORT < $COMPORT

gives me the response

Code:

Ericsson

OK

However

Code:

chat -Vsr /path/to/outputfile REPORT ' ' 'AT+CGMI' 'OK' ' ' > $COMPORT < $COMPORT

gives me

Code:

Failed

I've tried variations on where to place the word REPORT without success.....it's annoying to be honest.

I had thought about going this way but the problem is that if the modem throws anything other then what's expected I could miss the error...for example (understandably) the normal response requires dropping the first two lines from read <&5 however if there's an error state I may never get to see it.

What I really want to do is capture all the response from the modem and then start to code the analysis of said response.

Thanks for the idea but hopefully you can see my concern.
