You should also install pexpect (it's not standard in Python environment):

apt-get install pexpect

@ Saturn:

I think you are you running smscon as user. I only works from running as root...

You're right. it works now. (maybe add it in the instructions?)

I'll do some testing in the next days.

tnx again.

VERY NICE PROGRAM APP!!

Ive been waiting for this for some quite time, but i can see there are still some fixes and improvements you could do, has far has i can see its obviously in devel

I would request the following, if possible of course:

1.- Friendly-UI
2.- Settings option
3.- password protected options

Maybe im wrong but it looks like an n900 troyanhorse :rolleyes:

That's teh advantage of python. You can see and modify the source/script very easily, you don't even have to go and fetch a source package to have a look at what it is doing.

I'd be more worried if it was a binary, and even more worried if the source was closed.

Edit/Afterthought ...
I would say that the possibility of getting hacked/pwned/DOSed is quite high without some means of command authentication, though, but I've not looked at this yet to see what options are available in this respect. This is interesting though.

Its a nice idea, but you never can tell what smtp server the network will allow you to access if the SIM gets swapped, and there's no wifi connection. Also, you'd probably have to embed your mail account password in the script or something in order to be able to send mail from it.

Another thing worth thinking about is to always use passphrases with the ssh private keys you store on the device, so that those in physical possession of it can't gain access to other machines over ssh. That might make use of the reverse ssh connection somewhat difficult.

A question I have, is does the inbound SMS message destined for SMScond with a command in it get subverted away from the user interface so no notifications are presented?

It is still in devel (I like to hear your likes, dislikes & new ideas), some parts of the app work ok but I know it could be better done. I will make some changes that all the user settings can be made in a easy settings file (smscon_settings).

Password and user settings can be encrypted ofcoarse, but because it's a open scripting language you can always adapt and uncrypt it if you have the knowledge.

Maybe I will try to make a friendly-UI, I'm more CLI minded myself (it's easier to develop :))
