[solved] SMS command not working

playSMS Help
1

Hey there,
playSMS is a great tool and nice to handle if you have spend some times for testing :smile:

But Iā€™m frustrated using SMS Command Module.

Scenario:
My Company is using PRTG for Monitoring reasons, sending Notification works fine (using scripts and gammu-smsd-inject, not playsms http api).
Now I want to Acknowledge an Alarm, PRTG provides an HTTP(s) API which works fine while manual testing.

I created an SMS_Command with the Keyword ā€˜ACKā€™, and PlaySMS reacts on the Keyword (Status in Reports -> All Feature Messages -> Keyword ACK) but playsms doesnā€™t run the script as I added to write in a test.log.
There is no logging for recognizing the keyword. The Directory itself is 777 chmodded.

Any Idea?

Edit config.php and set logstate to 3, then restart playsmsd

Do debug, run this command:

tail -f /var/log/playsms/playsms.log -n0 | test1.txt

And then run single test for keyword ACK

So it says command output is empty. If i run this script manually there is an Output.
The Output command in the script is: echo ā€œYou are not authorized to this Actionā€

Did you see what happenned after reading the log, carefully ?

What is happening?
the script should echo the text and (fur debug reasons) echo his Actions to a test.log

6

You ran exactly like this with the quote ?

/var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/PRTG.sh '+49151*******' 'ACK' '11610 test'

with real number, of course

Anton

yes:

root@SD-SMS01:/var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/PRTG.sh '+49151******' 'ACK' '11610 test'
    Sie sind nicht Autorisiert

Is it possible that your server config prevented shell_exec() function ?

see here at line 72:

Okay, I tuned my script and it is working but I didnā€™t change anything of the echo command, more the fine tuning of the work flow. Also there is some data missing in between.

Unfortunately my other testscript doesnā€™t run, it just echoes system uptime and timestamp. Iā€™ll post the log later but I think there is ā€œno outputā€ again.

10

Might there be another Folder, where the script is cached?

11

OK, so far so good.
My Output with echo works now (donā€™t know why). But there are several issues:
I canā€™t get any Output with curl, I think curl canā€™t be executed, So, the control of authorization (Number = User and Passwordhash) doesnā€™t work too.

Maybe Iā€™ll create another script, which will be called by the SMS command. Letā€™s see, Iā€™ll Report.

12

ok, Problem solved:
as WWW-data user, I canā€™t run curl and some other commands,

So i outsourced the Code to another script and when a sms command is recognized by Playsms the scripts calls the other scripts with sudo: sudo -i -u sms

Itā€™s important to use the -i option to run the script in the sudo user enviroment!

is your playsmsd not running as root ?
