Batch file to send SMS

[Adam Goldrick]

Wondering if some one has done this.

I have a product that monitors and when something goes wrong it runs a java script that returns two variables

Phone number (smsReceiver) and a message (smsBody).

I need to get these SMS’ed.

What I can work out, is program does the folowing.

---

//variables defined here

var smsReceiver = [MobileNumber];

var smsBody = “”The Service ” + [Title] + ” is ” + [ServiceQualityLabel] + “. Time of event: ” + [ServerTime] + “.””;

//external batch file defined here

//this batch script should have two parameters: a telephone number and a message body

var batFile = “C:NotificationScript.bat”

//execution of external bat file

Packages.java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(batFile + ” ” + smsReceiver + ” ” + smsBody);

---

What I don’t have is that bat file (NotificationScript.bat) that takes those parameters and sends it to the iSMS.

I know I can use the http send API, I am just not a scripting person to write that code or don’t even know if I need aditional software like wget or curl (couldn’t get them to work anyway).

Then it got me thinking..

can it be sent directly by scripting something different then calling a bat file, like using java directly, internet search led me to this

response.sendRedirect(“http://192.168.2.1:81/sendmsg?user=admin&passwd=admin&cat=1&to=” + smsReceiver + “&text=” + smsBody)

I just don’t know what the “Packages.java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec” or “response.sendRedirect” mean (again not a scripting person.

Anyone?

Answered my own question..

/* Notification Script to send send out an SMS.

Two variables have to be defined:

– smsReceiver: The mobile number of the receiver, including the +61, eg: +61440123456

– smsBody: The actual message to be sent out

var smsBody = “”The Service ” + [Title] + ” is ” + [ServiceQualityLabel] + “. Time of event: ” + [ServerTime] + “.””;

var smsUrl = “http://192.168.2.1:81/sendmsg?user=admin&passwd=admin&cat=1&to=” + smsReceiver + “&text=” + smsBody;

var dataToSend = “”;

// Send the soap envelope

xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);

xmlhttp.open(“GET”, smsUrl, false);

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “text/html; charset=utf-8”);

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader(“Content-Length”, dataToSend.length);

xmlhttp.send(dataToSend);
