We have put an instance of playsms (1.3.0) + smstools running on ubuntu 14.04 into production using 2 gsm modems.
Twice in the past 2 weeks it has just stopped sending texts with no errors, for no particular reason.
The mail 2 sms interface still retrieves the mail, playsms appears to process them, and database entries exist in playsms_tblSMSOutgoing_queue, however datetime_update is all zeroes.
There are no corresponding entries in playsms_tblSMSOutgoing.
The queue directories are empty so smstools has nothing to do. manual tests on smstools shows that it is functioning properly. The first time I got it back up by restoring from a backup from the previous day.
Nothing will bring playsms back to working properly, service stop/start, cold reboots, nothing. It’s completely non-functional.
Sorry, the software is at 1.3.1, my bad. The fix has been applied for the queue, but I don’t see how that would impact the functionality, as it is just a view issue.
I re-restored from a working backup and applied the fix.
There were items in the queue.
The machine was restored from a backup done on 12/3 before any of the problems developed. After I did the queue fix, I saw there were 9 items in the queue. I cleared the queue out and resumed sms processing through the machine. We will see how things go.
Thanks Anton.
