Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script that performs action when receiving an SMS. Post 303031593 by RudiC on Saturday 2nd of March 2019 01:35:35 PM

Welcome to the forum.


A few comments first:
- Please use code tags to improve readability and understandability of your code and data.
- exercise utmost care when composing your spec: a leading (or missing) slash can make a huge difference in the functioning (or mal-) of your script (here: /var vs var)
- WAY too many spaces. Your code given above will not run. NO spaces around = and / , and following $ . Too few around [ and ] .



When reading your request, my first thought was: a system like that should have hooks (or so) to trigger actions on events like incoming mail. Et voila, from the project homepage:

Quote:
The program can be run as a SMS daemon which ... can run other external programs or scripts after events like reception of a new message ...
Did you consider that functionality, which is to be preferred over repeatedly listing directory contents?

NAME
gammu-smsd-files - gammu-smsd(1) backend using filesystem as a message storage DESCRIPTION
FILES backend stores all data on a filesystem in folders defined by configuration (see gammu-smsdrc for description of configuration options). RECEIVING OF MESSAGES
Received messages are stored in a folder defined by configuration. The filename will be IN<date>_<time>_<serial>_<sender>_<sequence>.<ext>, for example NN20021130_021531_00_+45409000931640979_00.txt. Explanation of fields: <date> date in format YYYYMMDD <time> time in format HHMMSS <sender> sender number <serial> order of a message (in case more messages were received at same time), in format NN <sequence> part of the message for multipart messages, in format NN <ext> txt for text message, 8-bit messages are stored with bin extension, smsbackup for gammu-smsbackup The content of the file is content of the message and the format is defined by configuration directive InboxFormat (see gammu-smsdrc). TRANSMITTING OF MESSAGES
Transmitted messages are read from a folder defined by configuration. The filename should be one of the following formats: o OUT<recipient>.<ext> o OUT<priority>_<recipient>_<serial>.<ext> o OUT<priority><date>_<time>_<serial>_<recipient>_<note>.<ext> Explanation of fields: <recipient> recipient number where to send message <priority> an alphabetic character (A-Z) A = highest priority <ext> txt for normal text SMS, smsbackup for gammu-smsbackup <note> any artibrary text which is ignored For text messages, you can additionally append flags to extension: d delivery report requested f flash SMS b WAP bookmark as name,URL Other fields are same as for received messages. For example OUTG20040620_193810_123_+4512345678_xpq.txtdf is a flash text SMS requesting delivery reports. SMSes will be transmitted sequentially based on the file name. The contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or stan- dard character set). The contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or standard character set), for WAP bookmarks it is split on as Name,URL, for text messages whole file content is used. Please note that if file is not in Unicode, encoding is detected based on locales, which do not have to be configured if SMSD is running from init script. If this is your case, please add locales definition to init script. AUTHOR
