GAMMU-SMSD-NULL(7)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, meet gammu-smsd-null — the gammu-smsd(1) backend not storing messages. It’s literally the “I have no receipts” backend. Iconic. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The NULL backend does not store data at all. Zero. Nada. Nothing. 🫶

It could be useful in case you don’t want to store messages at all and you want to process them in the RunOnReceive handler — yep, the RunOnReceive <#option-RunOnReceive> one. So like, the backend minds its own business and lets your handler be the main character. 👑

---

🛠️ CONFIGURATION 🛠️

The configuration file then can look like:

[smsd]
Service = null
RunOnReceive = /usr/local/bin/process-sms

See also: SMSD Configuration File <#gammu-smsdrc> — yes bestie, that’s the config-file lore. 🦋
