New command

[sharpy2010]

Hi all

I was just wondering if it is possible to make the computer do something when It receives a text message. I have a mobile phone connected to my computer at all times, and what I want is to be able to text my computer (via the phone connected to it) from another phone, and when my computer receives the text message, it automatically reboots.

Is this possible using MPE? I guess there needs to be some sort of rule system set up, so when the computer receives a text, it will run a command line program?

Cheers!

p.s. If this doesnt make sense, all I want my computer to do is execute a command when a text message is received!

Look at this thread...
There is a short description on how to develop a sms gateway.
You have to use some of the following entries in your "general.ini" file:

Code: Alles auswählen

[EventHandlers]
OnMissedCall=C:\Test.exe missednumber="%number"
OnAcceptedCall (%number|%user)
OnOutgoingCall (%number|%user)
OnIncomingCall (%number|%user)
OnEndedCall (%number|%user)
OnAutomaticConnect (%port|%user)
OnManualConnect (%port|%user)
OnDisconnect (%port|%user)
OnConnectionLost (%port|%user)
OnIncomingMessage (%number|%text|%pdu|%user)

I think the most interesting for you is the "OnIncomingMessage" handler...
eg. OnIncomingMessage=C:\test.exe /message=%text

Hi, thanks very much for the reply!

I have tried adding the following into my general.ini file,

[EventHandlers]
OnIncomingMessage=C:\test.exe /message=gig

I also tried

[EventHandlers]
OnIncomingMessage=C:\test.exe /message=%gig

as I need the computer to do something (run the test.exe) when the word 'gig' is received on the phone.

Unfortunately, although MyPhoneExplorer receives the text message (and the balloon popup appears, to show that it has been received) the prgram test.exe does not run (I have written my own test.exe which contains the commands I wish to execute).

I can't work out why nothing is happening!!

Why didn't you add

Code: Alles auswählen

[EventHandlers]
OnIncomingMessage=C:\test.exe /message=%text

??

If MPE gets a message, it runs the given application and replaces the "%text" (which is some kind of a variable) with the original message text. (The same with the other variables "%number", "%pdu", "%user")

So for example: You get a message with the text "Hello..." MPE will start C:\test.exe with the following parameters:

Code: Alles auswählen

C:\test.exe /message=Hello...

If that doesn't work, check if the applications path is valid and if your application reacts on the given commands as desired...
