What F/W are you using?
If you are using any of the MAXX firmwares then do following:
1. Go to
Main Menu -> Office Tools -> Tools -> Crond -> Start. A message should pop up saying that Crond is On.
2. Then connect your mobile to PC and telnet to it. (If you don't know how to do it, read a tutorial or manual. There are plenty of them floating around)
3. Type the following:
cd /ezxlocal/cron.d
4. Now you are in this direcotry. Type this:
touch root
5. You have just created new file with the name
root. Edit that file with nano:
nano root
6. This file is empty. You need to add only one line which looks like this:
1,30 * * * * sendsms 123456789 "This is the message"
I can explain few things here. The first two numbers separated by comma is the minutes of an hour when the message will be sent. When you set it to
1,30 the message will be send every hour on the first and 30th minute. The 123456789 is the number where you want to send the message. After that follows the message text.
7. Press CTRL + C. When prompted for confirmation, press Y and ENTER.
8. Thats it. If you ever want to stop sending these messages, do the same as in step 1, but select
Stop.
P.S. In my firmware the
Start and
Stop buttons in
Crond directory are reversed. You need to look what the pop up sayes after pressing the button.
P.S2 You do not need to use MAXX F/W for this. You only need a F/W with
crond installed and a menu to start and stop crond. If you don't have it, flash to any MAXX or install crond manually.
