problems with sms script

["Jarrod Hodder" <Jarrod.Hodder (at) paradigmit.net.au>]

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
