Receive SMS – Execute scripts on received SMS

To have a incoming SMS on your server execute a list of programs or commands, you must create a Windows script file (.BAT) The name of this file (for example DOIT) will be the key to start the script from a mobile. The additional text will be available for the programs in your script as one of the parameters. Consult the SysManSMS User and Developers Guide for details on each program or server command you like to be executed.

Let’s create a script in the servers Programs folder called DOIT.bat

In our example, server’s number is 12345678, and the mobile’s is 87654321

 
REM Save DOIT.BAT in your servers Programs folder
REM
REM Sending the SMS "DOIT NUMLIST1" will execute the following commands:
REM

REM parameter %1 will contain mobile number that started this procedure
REM parameter %2 will contain the text sent from the mobile
REM parameter %3 will contain the time the message was sent from mobile

REM Make sure your BAT process has correct folder for the program to execute
C:
cd \Program Files\SysManSMS\CMDclient

REM Use the CMDclient to send a command to a mobile or the server itself
SysManSMS_CMD.exe "12345678" ":VCFWD %1"

REM Make sure your BAT process has correct folder for the next program
cd \Program Files\SysManSMS\GSMserver\Programs

REM Execute a program from servers Programs folder
seti.exe %1 %2 %3

This is how your server log will look like after script execution:
