I am finding this very useful.
I am not using quite how it was intended so I have modified it slightly for myself. Modifications are:
1. I set EMAILFROM to be the same as user so that my ISP didn't reject emails.
2. I turned off changing the SENDERNUMBER when SMS received from a different phone
3. I added extra functionality to the receiveSMS function so that the sender can change the email address or sender number on the fly, e.g. SMS is Camera e=name@isp or Location n=XXXXX.
4. The sender can also send a string of commands that get executed one at a time, e.g. Camera Location.
If anyone is interested in this, I can send the updates to the author.

can you add one more option to send photo to email what is taken from main camera(most of the theif would try to snap his own or friends photo) because front camera does not take pictures in the dark.

Ok so i installed an old version of smscon and smscon-editor and i forgot my password... could anyone explain me how do i reinstall the program so i can use it again without format my N900? Please?
I already tried remove all the files in /opt/smscon and /opt/smscon-editor and then do:
apt-get remove smscon smscon-editor
tried to reinstall and nothing..
tried to do:
apt-get purge smscon smscon-editor
Any tips on this?
Edit: So i was entering my old password but went to the wiki and viewed that default password is 12345 and it worked! ehhehe
Hope this helps someone!

I noticed, whenever I Disable sms replies and I exit the program and re-activated it, the check-mark stays but the gray area for the sms replies are there and can be checked back.
Also, if you disable sms replies, how will you check the status of the phone? is there another way like using linux shell or something? or can that information be sent to your email?

It is also more clear in the next version.

This is just to inform if the command you sent has been registered. It has nothing to do with the result of the command itself. For example if you send the Location command you will get an SMS reply that the command has been activated in the phone and later depending on your other settings you will get the coordinates. Disabling the SMS replies will only stop the first SMS and not the Location command result.
It is also more clear in the next version.
Also is it possible to make it so that the program cannot be removed without the correct password is entered? Anyway, lets take care of my problems first.
I sent a "Location" text to the phone but never received anything back. The same with other commands, eg. "Power", never received any text. Anything I am doing wrong?

You can check the log file for what is going on:
Code:
cat /tmp/smscon.log

In other words, isn't the purpose of this application to know the status of the device at a remote location?

smscon is requiring password ?how do i start it in simply words ? please help and dont mind experties cuz i am just an other noob ))
help would appreciated
help would appreciated
I have installed smscon and editor today, loved every idea and effort behind them, thanks.
Everything seems working, but my N900 is not locking. When it receives sms, locking password screen comes, but if you touch empty area, it says device is not locked. I tried to cancel any password from settings/device lock, so it can directly lock itself, device lock settings are not allowing to empty password as far as I can see.
Am I missing something?
I tried to scan this thread, but it is too long, so sorry if answered before...
edit: Ok, nobody answered, but I think I solved my problem. After manually locking device with "secure device" option in power button menu, my n900 seems to accept locks wit smscon.
I checked all the thread and found out that this problem/question asked by others several times and never got an answer. Probably most of users don't encounter this problem. I hope this helps others.
