Gnokii and Perl

[Jan Löfvendahl]

Have just installed Nagios Work Management system for our network (As described in Linux Journal July 2003).

To expaned the use of it I plan to send sms to a selected group of people in case of system failure.

Heard of gnokii and installed gnokii.0.5.2 on my Linux server (Red Hat 7.2).

Connected my 6310 to the serial port with a dlr3p cable and set up .gnokiirc as :

port = /dev/ttyS0

model = 6310

initlength = default

connection = dlr3p

bindir = /usr/local/bin/

use_locking = no

serial_baudrate = 19200

 

Started testing the system by enterering gnokii --sendsms <xxxxxx>

Got the :

GNOKII Version 0.5.2
Please enter SMS text. End your input with <cr><control-D>:

 

But gnokii does'nt seem to accept the control-D.

Struggled a couple of days and for fun tested with a 6210 and it worked at first try.

Seems odd that it works with a 6210 and not the 6310.

Have not seen this on the mailing list.

 

Any solution to this?
