SMS notification with gammu - Solved

[Allan Holdt Hansen INBODAN]

Hi!

 

Instead of messing with rights on the tty you could try running gammu as a deamon (-smsd option) and then use the queing script (smsqueue.pl iirc - located somewhere in the gammu sources). 

 

This only requires permissions on the queue directory (/var/spool/sms - or something like that).

Emne: Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notification with gammu - Solved

 

The problem was due to the /dev/ttyACM0 device that was created when the mobile was connected via USB not having rw access for other user.  Is there a way to make these permissions persistent on a reboot or disconnection of a hot plug device? 

Many thanks

Simon

Hello Simon, 
Probably, it is so. Otherwise, I don't have anything sensible in my mind about this. Could you check (if possible pass to Nagios user and try to execute) 
/usr/bin/printf
/usr/local/bin/gammu
can be readable and executable by Nagios user?

you can simply add 
# chmod +x /usr/bin/printf
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gammu

however, one more problem can occur. gammu also could be able to read its resources as nagios user. Anyway, let's try to execute the command as Nagios user. Waiting for your reply...

	I did as you suggested and echoed the command into a temporary file (output below), so the notification is been triggered.  Again if I run the output of the text file manually then the sms is sent as expected but not as part of the notification command.  Could it be due to permissions? 
	
	/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Svc:HTTP ++Host:Abs Self Service Server 2 ++ Addr:MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious: 89.50.35.113 <http://89.50.35.113>  ++ State:CRITICAL ++Date:23-03-2007 11:53:08" | /usr/local/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 00000000 
	
	Regards

	Hi Simon,
	Let Nagios to write the action into a file. This is because you should be sure that Nagios runs the command exactly as yours. There can be some exceptions (bugs, some missed escape chars, ...).
	Thus, see the difference. 
	
	First of all, let it write into a file. For instance, change the command like,
	echo '/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Svc:$SERVICEDESC$ ++Host:$HOSTALIAS$ ++ Addr:$HOSTADDRESS$ ++ State:$SERVICESTATE$ ++Date:$SHORTDATETIME$" | /usr/local/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$' >> /tmp/someTempFile
	
	After you're sure a notification is done, open that temporary file and get a random line (first, last or any) then try to execute it. Result? Same? 
	
	This makes difference. Waiting for your reply.

	Please can someone help or point me in the direction of a log I can interrogate, I am using gammu to attempt to send sms notifications (command definition below, as detailed on gammu web site).  The nagios.log reports that the notification has been sent sucessfully but the message is never received, if I run the command manually the sms is received.  Any ideas? 
	
	Details FC6 PPC, Gammu version 1.10.1 (compliled from source), Nagios 2.7 yum repository install.
	
	define command{
	       command_name    notify-by-sms-direct
	       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Svc:$SERVICEDESC$ ++Host:$HOSTALIAS$ ++ Addr:$HOSTADDRESS$ ++ State:$SERVICESTATE$ ++Date:$SHORTDATETIME$" | /usr/local/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$ 
	}
	
	Thanks in advance
	
	Simon
