Hi everybody,

I'm having a hard time to get my send-sms script to work. if i execute it on the commandline, everything works perfect. but when i try to send a message from zenoss (test-msg or based on a event), nothing happends. But in every case the correct messaged gets logged in the file. Where is my error?

I use gnokii to connect to a nokia mobile phone.


Here is my code on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VFq674ar http://pastebin.com/VFq674ar


Thx very much in advance!

Any help is welcome!

I'm using zenoss 3.2.1

da shan:

Just a guess, but I'd verify that zenoss is in the sudoers file and might even suggest you throw a +s on that bin requireing sudo priv. I'd then verfy that it runs by hand as the zenoss user. Are you executing this script using an eventcommand?

Best,
--Shane

Hi Shane,

thank you for your reply!

I'd verify that zenoss is in the sudoers file

zenoss ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/gnokii

As the zenoss-user, I can execute the script without any problems. My message gets logged and the sms gets send immediately. When zenoss executes the script (i set up a page-alerting-rule, which i trigger through an manually created event) the device-name and the correct message as well as the correct page-number is logged in my log-file.
From that I get:
-> Zenoss can execute the script
-> The script gets the correct message from zenoss, through std-in
-> The script gets the correct number

I think my problem is either the method of calling gnokki (os.process vs. subprocess.popen) or the fact that gnokki takes some time to execute.
