Hi, I’m trying to get this to work; I’m not a coder, and do not understand how to use this. Should I enter the %values in the clickatell.sms file, or pass them as command line arguments. I’ve tried both without success so far. E.g. changing the NbParams6 values, aswell as trying to run it like “smssend login password API.. “. I would be grateful if anyone could explain a bit more in detail howto.

Alex:

This script seems to work with me. I believe depending on your system type you might need to escape the variables - but on CentOS it works like a charm how it is set up. Note to anyone trying this, if you have problems try using it with the escape slashes.

Hi,

There is a slight bug in with the above clickatell.sms script.

The line:

Params from=%Sender%&user=%Login%&password=%Password%&api_id=%ApiID%&to=%Tel%&text=%Message%

needs to be

Params from=\%Sender%&user=\%Login%&password=\%Password%&api_id=\%ApiID%&to=\%Tel%&text=\%Message%

Else it doesn’t catch the correct var’s from the CLI.

(smssend Version 3.4)
