singe/vodasms-cli

Send mobile text messages to Vodacom South Africa subscribers from the command line. VodaSMS This program was initialy written to avoid the horrors of the Vodacom4me website since rebranded as the Vodacom Portal (vodacom.co.za). It allows you to do all sorts of things with your sms account without having to leave the comfort of your command line. Getting Started --------------- * Extract the vodasms tarball, I assume you have already done that if you are reading this. I like to put everything into ~/.vodasms/ . * Edit the configuration file, vodasms.ini, to include the relevant information. The configuration file needs to be in the ~/.vodasms/ directory. If you would like to change that edit the configfile variable at the top of the 'vodasms' script. * Ensure that the perl modules WWW::Mechanize and Config:IniFiles are installed. If you are not root then put them somewhere, uncomment and update the BEGIN line at the top of the vodasms script. * Look at the example phonebook provided and create a phonebook. This is not mandatory as normal phone numbers can be used. * Send an sms. * There is a very quick 'n dirty install script that will do some of this for you. From the tarball extracted directory run ./install.sh Usage ----- vodasms e.g. vodasms +27821234567 hello vodasms Dominic "hello" Testing ------- My number is in the default phonebook, and I like getting sms'es. So send me an sms telling me what you think. e.g. vodasms Dominic "OMFG I have never seen such awful Perl, and that's saying a lot\!"
