Adding delay in kannel or playsms

playSMS Help
1

Although its really not related to playSMS purely, but still i hope i will get some response :smile:

I am using playSMS with kannel and gsm modem attached with it and trying to Limit SMS sending messages per second in KANNEL version 1.4.3 because our mobile operators restrict per minute sending sms.

Example if I submit 6 messages to kannel, there must be 10 seconds delay in between sending each message.
I tried to use throughput = 0.10 but the
kannel is not obeying this option. I can see in logs that it set this value, but still all sms goes instantly one by one. I searched and posted the query to kannel forum but didn’t got any solution.
help please

you can try to add sleep(10) in sendsmsd() just before accessing sendsmsd_process(), in plugin/core/sendsms/fn.php

yes i am aware of it, and using sleep function in my billing php page, but is there any method you know to add sending delay in KANNEL itself? or it is not supported?
