AIX

Hi AIX Guru's,

I am a bit new to this AIX stuff . Does anyone of you know how to send SMS
messages from an AIX box. We are able to send emails to the internet from
this AIX box , and I was hoping sending SMS's would be something similar
Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Please provide a sample script.

Many Thanks

Hi ,
I want to sent a SMS (short messaging service) alert in AIX when ever a apache
web server is up or down.
I am able to send s Email message but i want to send a SMS to mobile phones.
Please advice

I don't know a SMS gateways software for AIX. There is Gammu for Linux - you might want to try to compile it or just set it up on a Linux box. Here is a tutorial:
Build your own SMS gateway with Ubuntu Linux and Gammu

Here is the link to their home page:
Wammu and Gammu

You could also use a provider or open SMS gateway that accepts emails.

Many thanks Mate for the valuable information.

I am looking for a script(works on AIX machine) which can send SMS (short service message) messages using service provide name.

something like---> mobilenumber @service provider.com

Kindly advice.

I have not worked with such gateway directly but I guess you just have to send a simple mail. Mails can be send with the mail command for example:

Code:

echo "Here is my text." | mail -s "my subject" me@my.org

1.Send mail is configured properly to reach outside world.

2.The Below commands are not working fine as far as SMS to the UK phone's is concerned.Please help

Code:

 
echo "this is my message" | /usr/lib/sendmail -v npanxx####@sms.provider.com

If you have a Cingular (formerly Southwestern Bell) phone, that would be;

Code:

echo "this is my message" | /usr/lib/sendmail cellnumber@email.swbw.com

If you want to send a flat file named my_file;

Code:

cat my_file | /usr/lib/sendmail cellnumber@email.swbw.com

The -v used in the first example will simply show you what is going on when sending from the command line and is not necessary. I would omit it in a script.
