Some time ago I installed a GSM-module into my car that can switch on my disel-heater when I send a command via SMS. The GSM-module returns the status (success/error) via SMS.

Now I would like to have a button on my N900 that sends the SMS-command on press and switch colour/icon according to the reply.
I have some very basic programming skills but unfortunately not enough knowledge to even send a SMS from command line or read the content of a message there. Maybe sql with .rtcom-eventlogger could work here? Or a DBUS command?

Any help is highly appreciated

There is a Python script that can be used to send SMS http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Send_SMS

You need to have pyside-qt4 and pyside-mobility installed in order to use it. You use it from the command line as follows:

Code:
python ssms.py <number> <message>
