smssend sends sms from the command line (CLI)

Code:

Usage: 
  smssend [options] -n +39xxxxxx:+39xxxxxx -m "Text"
Options:
  -c         : compose message with conversation
  -C         : send the message with conversation

Following options are valid only if used without -c or -C
  -l logfile : log pnatd messages to logfile
  -s         : don't save message in the sent folder
  -f         : send a flash sms
  -v VP      : set the sms validity period (0-255)
               Default value is 167 (1 day)
                 0 - 143 (VP + 1) x 5 mins
               144 - 167 12 Hours + ((VP-143) x 30 mins)
               168 - 196 (VP-166) x 1 day
               197 - 255 (VP-192) x 1 week
  -p PIN     : pin code (for pin locked SIM)

With the -c option the conversation app will popup with the message ready to be sent, and the user have to press the send button.
With the -C option the conversation app will popup after the message has been queued for sending.

You can send the same message to more than one number: separate each number with ":"

smssend must be run as root (works as user if you use -c or -C options).
To use it as user:

Code:

chmod 4555 /usr/bin/pnatd

Package: http://maemo.org/packages/view/smssend/

Not tried it yet but do you mind if I poke around the source code? Working on my own app and this sounds very useful! Thanks a lot (:

In my case, sending works but only as root

He shows me the following message as user:
"ERR: Failed to send AT + CMGF command"

Thanks for your work.

Sending non-english words using -C, I got junk in history. What receiver got I didn't check.
One time I got that message didn't save in history (-C).

SMS gets "flashed" on your phone screen, but is not stored in SMS inbox...

Just tested sending to myself, both normal SMS and flash sms. Works great. Will test flash-sms-ing others when it's not the middle of the night here (which it is now). I greatly appreciate you adding this feature. Pragmatically it's not much, but it's nother thing I can smuggly say my phone can do, while others' can't. That, and it's just a neat feature to have.
