Sluggers,
I want to create a queue for an SMS messaging system. Can anyone point
me towards documentation about queues under linux. I've done a man on
lpq, fifo & batch but I need more info.
Basically sms messages to be sent enter the queue (probably via e-mail)
At the head of the queue a process dials out and sends the next message,
it should also keep the dialup open and send all messages in the queue
before closing the connection. If the dial-out fails, or any errors occur
the message needs to be re-queued (remaining in order I guess). After x
number of failures the message needs to be returned to sender. Sounds a
bit like how mail works, perhaps I could use program delivery under
sendmail in some fashion? But I need to stop sendmail from moving onto
the next item in the mail queue, once it's dispatched the current message
to the program, and I need for the program to be able to read the current
queue and pull all the messages out of it.
Many TIA's
Pete
