zabbix and gnokii

[Jens]

I want to send criticle alerts via sms to my mobile phone.
As we have and old Nokia 6210 with data cable, we want to use it.
When I create a media type for the mobile phone (ttyS0) it doesn't send alerts.
When I use gnokii --sendsms ... it works fine. So my solution was to create a script to call the gnokii command.
The script looks like this:
echo $1 $2 $3 | gnokii --sendsms 5551234567

In case of an alert the zabbix_server.log shows the error "Exec format error".
When I change the script as
gnokii --sendsms ...
this error will not reported, but (of course) no sms will be send.

Thankz for all Your help !

Now I've found the search funtion of the forum
and modified the script as follows:
#!/bin/bash
echo $1 $3 | gnokii --sendsms ********* >sms.log
exit 0

Now, no error will logged ... but no sms was send

I think you should use full path to gnoki, say, /usr/sbin/gnoki ?

Thankz, it is a really good idea ... but it doesn't work

Hello,

I had the same problem :
gnokii working perfectly in terminal connected as zabbix but i was unable to use the script.

I've solved it with setup "use_locking = no" in the config file of gnokii /etc/gnokiirc

I didn't understand the reason (apparently user right problem) but that did the trick (no error log in zabbix'logs).

Hope that can help

use smsd

Put your outgoing messages in a mysql table and let smsd figure it out

I use gnokii with Ubuntu and a gprs usb modm and it works. Try to add a sudo before gnokii command :
Like this :
exec ("/bin/echo \"$argv[2]\" |/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $argv[1] 2>/dev/null");
