RE: Nokia 6021 - smsd and mysql - pulls out Inbox messages but not Sent items messages

[Andrew Thompson]

Thanks Jan,

Maybe I have gotten confused - I thought the sent items worked the same way as 
the inbox in the sense that it polls the folder and pulls out whats in it.

Basically  I have a problem where nagios can flood the phone with sms alerts to 
send out and they all appear to be sent out at the exact same second according 
to Nagios. When this happens no texts are ever received even though Nagios says 
they were sent.

So I would pointed off to using the smsd with mysql to manage the congestion 
issues and it should send any messages that are in the tables that are not 
marked as sent.

So in light of what you said I just need to get Nagios to send its messages to 
the sql first instead of directly out to the contacts and then sql sends the 
message back to the phone to send out?

Do you have any info on how to manage this as I currently have nagios commands 
to send directly to mobile phone number

Define command{
Command_name    host-server-by-sms
Command_line            /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***Nagios***\n\n 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$" ¦ /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms 
$CONTACTPAGER$
}

Cheers

Kind Regards
Andrew

Smsd doesn't care about phone's sent folder. It checks only phone's inbox 
folder.

Yes, you can if you want.

I don't understand why is Sent folder important for you. It contains messages 
you sent from phone. If I remember right, you can set in phone's messages 
settings if want to save sent messages.

For nagios use, the sent folder is not important. All what you need is to set 
nagios to insert new messages to outbox table. Smsd will periodicaly checks 
outbox table and will sent new messages from this table to recepients.
