gammu-smsd RunOnReceive script results exit status 2

I want to forward an SMS using gammu-smsd RunOnReceive.

That is the script I want to run (/var/spool/gammu/forward.sh) and it goes perfectly if I run it from a sudoer or using sudo -u gammu -g gammu /var/spool/gammu/forward.sh

#!/bin/bash

SMS_MESSAGES=1

for i in `seq $SMS_MESSAGES`
do
    number="SMS_${i}_NUMBER"
    text="SMS_${i}_TEXT"
    eval "gammu-smsd-inject TEXT my_number_goes_here -text \"${!number}: ${!text}\""
done

And here is the problem I am experiencing:

Thu 2015/01/29 23:08:57 gammu-smsd[2549]: Starting run on receive: /var/spool/gammu/forward.sh IN20150130_000850_00_+37368214400_00.txt

What happens if I just do ./forward.sh (not root) - so all is OK:

Please, help

Solution

  • I had the same problem and I solved it this way:

    1. First add gammu user to sudoers, with no password:

      type: $ sudo visudo

    and add: gammu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

    1. Then run gammu-smsd as root user:

    in /etc/init.d/gammu-smsd

    change USER=gammu to USER=root

    save it and don't forget to restart daemon: service gammu-smsd restart

    1. In RunOnReceive script add sudo in front of gammu-smsd-inject:

      e.g.: sudo gammu-smsd-inject TEXT my_tel_num -text "Hello world!"

    I hope this will work for you too!

    P.S.: I use Gammu version 1.31.90.
