NAME
gammu-smsd-run - documentation for RunOnReceive directive
DESCRIPTION
Gammu SMSD can be configured by RunOnReceive directive (see
gammu-smsdrc for details) to run defined program after receiving every
message. It can receive single message or more messages, which are
parts of one multipart message.
This parameter is executed through shell, so you might need to escape
some special characters and you can include any number of parameters.
Additionally parameters with identifiers of received messages are
appended to the command line. The identifiers depend on used service
backend, typically it is ID of inserted row for database backends or
file name for file based backends.
Gammu SMSD waits for the script to terminate. If you make some time
consuming there, it will make SMSD not receive new messages. However to
limit breakage from this situation, the waiting time is limited to two
minutes. After this time SMSD will continue in normal operation and
might execute your script again.
NOTE:
All input and output file descriptors are closed when this program
is invoked, so you have to ensure to open files on your own.
ENVIRONMENT
New in version 1.28.0.
Program is executed with environment which contains lot of information
about the message. You can use it together with NULL service (see
gammu-smsd-null) to implement completely own processing of messages.
Global variables
SMS_MESSAGES
Number of physical messages received.
DECODED_PARTS
Number of decoded message parts.
Per message variables
The variables further described as SMS_1_... are generated for each
physical message, where 1 is replaced by current number of message.
SMS_1_CLASS
Class of message.
SMS_1_NUMBER
Sender number.
SMS_1_TEXT
Message text. Text is not available for 8-bit binary messages.
Per part variables
The variables further described as DECODED_1_... are generated for each
message part, where 1 is replaced by current number of part. Set are
only those variables whose content is present in the message.
DECODED_1_TEXT
Decoded long message text.
DECODED_1_MMS_SENDER
Sender of MMS indication message.
DECODED_1_MMS_TITLE
title of MMS indication message.
DECODED_1_MMS_ADDRESS
Address (URL) of MMS from MMS indication message.
DECODED_1_MMS_SIZE
Size of MMS as specified in MMS indication message.
EXAMPLES
Activating RunOnReceive
To activate this feature you need to set RunOnReceive in the
gammu-smsdrc.
[smsd]
RunOnReceive = /path/to/script.sh
Processing messages from the files backend
Following script (if used as RunOnReceive handler) passes message data
to other program. This works only with the gammu-smsd-files.
#!/bin/sh
INBOX=/path/to/smsd/inbox
PROGRAM=/bin/cat
for ID in "$@" ; do
$PROGRAM < $INBOX/$ID
done
Invoking commands based on message text
Following script (if used as RunOnReceive handler) executes given
programs based on message text.
#!/bin/sh
# Check for sender number
if [ "$SMS_1_NUMBER" != "+420123456789" ] ; then
exit
fi
# Handle commands
case "$SMS_1_TEXT" in
"DMS A")
/usr/bin/dms-a
;;
"DMS B")
/usr/bin/dms-b
;;
esac
Passing message text to program
Following script (if used as RunOnReceive handler) passes message text
and sender to external program.
#!/bin/sh
PROGRAM=/bin/echo
for i in `seq $SMS_MESSAGES` ; do
eval "$PROGRAM \"\${SMS_${i}_NUMBER}\" \"\${SMS_${i}_TEXT}\""
done
Passing MMS indication parameters to external program
Following script (if used as RunOnReceive handler) will write
information about each received MMS indication to the log file. Just
replace echo command with your own program to do custom processing.
#!/bin/sh
if [ $DECODED_PARTS -eq 0 ] ; then
# No decoded parts, nothing to process
exit
fi
if [ "$DECODED_1_MMS_ADDRESS" ] ; then
echo "$DECODED_1_MMS_ADDRESS" "$DECODED_1_MMS_SENDER" "$DECODED_1_MMS_TITLE" >> /tmp/smsd-mms.log
fi
Processing message text in Python
Following script (if used as RunOnReceive handler) written in Python
will concatenate all text from received message:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
import os
import sys
numparts = int(os.environ['DECODED_PARTS'])
# Are there any decoded parts?
if numparts == 0:
print('No decoded parts!')
sys.exit(1)
# Get all text parts
text = ''
for i in range(1, numparts + 1):
varname = 'DECODED_%d_TEXT' % i
if varname in os.environ:
text = text + os.environ[varname]
# Do something with the text
print('Number %s have sent text: %s' % (os.environ['SMS_1_NUMBER'], text))
