2 questions as i dont have time to read 56 pages!
1-we have been playing with it sending commands from another phone,all work perfectly but do i need to tell my phone i know its not really lost/stolen ie will it keep doing things in the background?
2-is it possible to email commands to my phone as i am more likely to be able to email it than use my wifes phone a lot of the time...
awesome work
1) No (technically yes of course because it's running in the background), but once the smscon_daemon is triggered by a specific SMS command it is set active (and will send SMS replies if configured so by specific user settings; KEYBOARDDETECT, AUTOBATREPORT, SILENCEDEVICE).

The smscon_daemon is, when running, doing almost nothing, it reads every SMS message when received on the phone and if it hasen't a specific SMSCON command it does nothing furter and is waiting for the next incoming SMS message...

2) I will implement this in a future release.
