Hi

I have no clue why this still isn't working!

Now in hobbit-alerts.cfg I have:

SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/smsalert FORMAT=SMS

And /usr/local/bin/smsalert is:

#!/bin/bash
echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:160}" | gnokii --sendsms 012345678

Where 012345678 is my cellnumber. Permissions are fine because user
hobbit can send an sms via the command line by doing `echo "hello" |
gnokii --sendsms 012345678`. I then get an sms.
