Hello,
I have now tried all the commands and here is my report.
Check, reboot, poweroff, power, location, remoteon, remoteoff, camera, call, lock, and unlock, all work fine. I also have the ssh reverse tunnel working with a passphrase replacing the password field in smscon_config.
What DOES NOT work:
1) I have KEYBOARDDETECT = 'yes', but I get NO updates about keyboard use whatsoever.
2) Trackon does not work either. I don't see any error messages in the log file, and I get no confirmation sms that the command was received by the N900. I made sure that smsconwas running. Interestingly, sending 'Trackoff' by sms does in fact stop the GPS if it was working and I get a confirmation sms that the command was executed.
Please, I request advice about identifying why these last two features don't work for me.
As a suggestion, I would also like to see some sort of remote wipe of the device and SD card, although encrypting the MyDocs folder and SD card would be a safer alternative I suppose. Where are all the passwords (email, browser, sipp, etc) stored by the way?
Thanks again and again for an awesome application!

I've reinitialized all components of smscon (reseted everything with command line), now it works for me with default commands. I think the bug is in the smscon editor when the commands are saved...

Was it working, you edited and since then it stopped working?
Can you reproduce it?
What happens if you put the commands you had when it didn't work?
FYI, ivyking and n900testa replied that it didn't work for them with stock commands either.
Cheers

I will look into it about the Keyboard & TrackOn.
I could implement in a later release a 'complete wipe' feature (for the ultimate 'destruction' if phone can't be found), but I'm not going to test it
.All user setting are stored in /usr/bin/smscon_config. When upcoming release 0.4.4-7 is received ok by people, we will implement encryption of sensitive user settings (password, username etc.).

@Saturn:
my smscon history:
installation of smscon and editor
configure with editor (custom commands)
test with editor -> all tests ok!
test with other phone -> no commands work
check smscon -log and smscon -sms ->nothing strange in there
reset the commands with editor
test with other phone -> no commands work
reset settings and restart daemon with xterm
configured phone number with editor
test with other phone -> all commands work!
I tried to prefixed the commands with the editor again and the commands didn't work, but this time after removing my prefix with the editor was successful.

Prefixing the commands:
Can you please describe each step?
e.g.
1. write in prefix box "asdret"
2. press "Prefix" button
3. press "Update Settings"
4. get message " Updated Command Names."
5. send sms from other phone with "asdretLocation"
...

Then, i deinstalled smscon and the smscon-editor, removed any files associated with it and reinstalled only the smscon.
Again - doesn't work. Not with the default and not with custom commands. I only receive the sms (i.e. Check) on the n900, but nothing happens - no reply to the command in any way.
I really would like to use this wonderful tool, but somehow it doesn't like me.... Could it be that there is some interference with another application (i know, hard to tell if you don't know what i'm running, ... but just to take a guess)?

i would like to use this app to start another app, i would like to hear wht my co-worker say about me when am not on desk , So if there way to send SMS to start recording when am not in the room with them , i can leave my n900 in the room locked in my desk to avoid thift .. it can be done i use 'myDicto' as my defualt recorder
well, nevermind. actually i've recently found out that my second gprs connection (created months ago by fAPN application for mms only) was a kind of ghost from the past. so now i have only one gprs connection for a given imsi, the problem is gone and everything works fine.
thanx again, greap app.
