Tom Stout replied to Tom Stout's discussion "Echo"ing an External Command as a FrontlineSMS command"Hello Alex,
Here is the scoop.
My script was in the python working directory not FrontlineSMS fixed that - now in FSMS working directory.
Used full path to script file

Alex Anderson replied to Tom Stout's discussion "Echo"ing an External Command as a FrontlineSMS command"Hi Tom,
I've just tested this with the attached bash script, and it's working fine for me.
I guess it's worth double checking that the script is executing - try changing the response handling for the external command to "Plain…"

Thanks for posting! Our developer team are on holiday for the next day or so but I'll ask them to have a look when they're back. In the mean time, it may be that someone else in the community can help. Hope it's ok to…"
Tom Stout replied to Tom Stout's discussion Messages staying in inbox and not going to clickatel"Thanks for script.
I am an AWK GAWK kind of guy when it comes to scripts, but I am sure I could do something in Perl or even Java, but it is the time that it takes to learn how to integrate these into FLSMS. I can't go the GITHUB…"

Should work with a normal handset, just not with Clickatell. Sorry there's not a clearer description of the issue.
Writing a sanitising script should be simple in something like perl I guess... using something like…"
Tom Stout replied to Tom Stout's discussion Messages staying in inbox and not going to clickatel"FANTASTIC! Just removed the "o" with the accent from the message and "BINGO" all messages sent out without a problem.
Will the development team be working toward a UTF-8 or other broader encoding compatability?
Sometimes we…"
Alex Anderson replied to Tom Stout's discussion Messages staying in inbox and not going to clickatel"Hi Tom,
From the logs you've sent, there appears to be a strange character in the message "Sorry I'm late". Any chance you can try again without punctuation?
I suspect the root issue here is that FrontlineSMS…"

Alex Anderson replied to Tom Stout's discussion Messages staying in inbox and not going to clickatel"Tom, very bizarre! Any chance you can share some logs with us? It would be great to see an example of a successfully-resent message and a failing new one to the same number.
Thanks,
Alex"
Tom Stout replied to Tom Stout's discussion Messages staying in inbox and not going to clickatel"More info that might help us solve this problem.
In the message tab if I right click on a message that was previously sent successfully, and chose re-send, then the message goes to clickatel and is delivered.
If however I go to the contacts tab and…"

Is the Clickatell connection showing as "active" in the Phones tab? Do you have enough credit to pay for the messages? If you log onto Clickatell directly, via the web, are there any error messages or notifications there? Can…"
