Hi,
I now have the mmsbox extras library sending MMS messages pretty much as
needed. I have bene looking to clean up few bits so I can write the
whole thing up.
I had already set up all a PPP connection using the phone that I could
bring up and down using the standard ifup and ifdown commands. At first
I tried just using "ifup ppp0" as the start-gprs script but this didn't
work because the command returns (I found the comment in the src saying
it should not return), so i replaced it with the following script:
#!/bin/sh
echo $$ > /root/ppp-wrapper.pid
trap cleanExit INT TERM
cleanExit() {
echo "shutting down"
ifdown ppp0
rm -f /root/ppp-wrapper.pid
exit 0
}#!/bin/sh
echo $$ > /root/ppp-wrapper.pid
trap cleanExit INT TERM
cleanExit() {
echo "stopping ppp0"
ifdown ppp0
rm -f /root/ppp-wrapper.pid
exit 0
}
if [ `ifconfig | grep ppp0 | wc -l` -eq 0 ]
then
ifup ppp0
echo "started ppp0"
fi
while [ true ]; do
sleep 10
done
ifup ppp0
echo "started ppp0"
while [ true ]; do
sleep 10
done
This should start the ppp connection then look until it gets a TERM
signal. This works fine when I test it on the command line but script
doesn't seam to be getting the signal after the message has been sent.
I have set gprs-pid=cat /root/ppp-wrapper.pid | head -1
Does anybody have any ideas?
Ben
