I am happy to just get a few links to get me started if this is not already available on the repos.
The dbus wiki might get you started. You can query the current profile with .....com.nokia.profiled.get_profile and grep for the name of your silent profile ("silent" or whatever it's localized to, I guess).

I'd used the ssms.py example on that page to send a "panic button" message to my wife, but it seems to have suffered "code rot" in the time since I did that. Good thing I never got kidnapped by aliens.

If you get this working, post your code, please. I've always wanted to do something like this, but send the incoming texts to Eliza to make an SMS chatterbot.

ed: I had actually used the python D-Bus send sms script from the phone control page. That one still works
