Hey all,
Ive got a bit of a curly one I haven't been able to work out yet... Here is
the scenareo....
I have a GSM Modem sitting on the serial port of a FreeBSD 4.0 box. It has
some software running which basically conrols the GSM modem.
When I use it command line, I issue it the command and it does its stuff
and outputs me some data so I know its outcome (whether it was successful
or not depends on what is output).
This is fine because I can make the script wait for the output from the
spawned command when I do it via PHP.
The question is, whenever an SMS message comes into the GSM modem, it
outputs some more text. Now.. if in sitting in console on the box, it comes
up on my screen. What I want to be able to do is, whenever a message comes
into the GSM modem, somehow detect it, fire off a PHP script I will write,
and do whatever it needs to do with it.
I just dont know how to go about waiting for some form of output in
FreeBSD, when it happens fire off a script.
I dont know if what im talking about makes sense, or is even doable, but if
anyone has any ideas or suggestions it'd be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
