πŸ’– GAMMU-SMSD-MONITOR(1) β€” the gammu manual, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so you found the gammu-smsd-monitor page, and honestly? good for you. this is from the Gammu manual, and we're gonna get you fully caught up. no gatekeeping here 🫢

✨ NAME ✨

gammu-smsd-monitor β€” literally the vibe-checker for the Gammu SMS Daemon. it watches the state of the SMS daemon. that's the whole job, and it slays at it πŸ’…

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gammu-smsd-monitor [OPTION]...

that's it. that's the whole invocation. iconic minimalism ✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

bestie, this manual page is gonna briefly document the gammu-smsd-monitor command β€” like, the short and sweet version, no cap.

so gammu-smsd-monitor is a program that monitors the state of the Gammu SMS Daemon. it periodically displays info about your phone and about how many messages have been processed. think of it as your little dashboard goblin, just checking in on things over and over πŸŽ€

the program accepts the following options β€” and heads up, long options might not be accepted on some platforms, so if --help is acting shy on you, that's why πŸ™ˆ

  • -h, --help β€” shows help. the classic. the moment you're lost, she's there πŸ’–
  • -v, --version β€” shows version information and the compiled-in features. it's giving "tell me everything about yourself" energy πŸ”₯
  • *-c, --config=file* β€” the configuration file to use. the default is /etc/gammu-smsdrc. on Windows there is no default, and you always have to specify the configuration file path yourself. no shortcuts there, sorry bestie 😭
  • -n, --loops=count β€” number of loops. by default the monitor loops **infinitely, which is very main character of it β€” it simply does not stop πŸ‘‘
  • *-d, --delay=seconds* β€” delay between polling SMSD state. default is 20 seconds. so like, a lil pause between check-ins, very mindful 🧘
  • -C, --csv β€” print output in comma separated values format:
client;phone ID;IMEI;IMSI;sent;received;failed;battery;signal

CSV status records are always written to standard output and are not given logging prefixes β€” and yes, that includes when --use-log is specified. so the CSV stays clean no matter what 🧼

  • -l, --use-log β€” write human-readable status updates using the logging configuration from the config file. fancy logging setup? she'll respect it πŸ’œ
  • -L, --no-use-log β€” write human-readable status updates to standard output, which is the default. output is flushed after every polling cycle so it can be consumed by a pipeline. pipeline girlies, this one's for you πŸ“
