Re: Unable to send msg from command line

[leos]

Hi Alan,

 

Gnokii expects getting message text on a standard input so the following

should work for you:

 

C:\MYGNOKII\WIN32\CONSOLE>echo "Message text" | mygnokii --sendsms +************

 

I don't use Windows version but I believe it should be the same. Try it.

 

Regards,

 

Leos.

 

 

I'm new to Gnokii and I can successfully use the Mygnokii console application to get information from my phone but I can not get the --sendsms working properly. The following is output I get when I try it.

C:\MYGNOKII\WIN32\CONSOLE>mygnokii --sendsms +************ Message Test ^D

Warning: saving 2 chars
^C
(After typing ctrl-d the line appeared to be waiting, after a while i typed ctrl-c, "Warning: saving 2 chars" appeared after I typed ctrl-c)

 

C:\MYGNOKII\WIN32\CONSOLE>mygnokii --sendsms +************ Message 2 Test

(On this second attempt I held down ctrl-d in frustration and then pressed return.  I did receive a message on my phone but it was all ? marks and no text, ie "Message 2 Test" did not appear in the text of the message).

I am using a Nokia 3210 witn a fbus cable on Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Alan Smith
