touch /home/user/.cherry_state

or disable/remove the script

Just to be clear about this, does anyone know if creating (e.g. using "touch" as arne.anka suggests) the /home/user/.cherry_state file will or will not be sufficient to stop the SMS being sent, as gwj suggests that the presence of that file did not stop the SMS being sent in his case?
