Tag: sms

I signed up for a Mollie account so that I can send SMS’s from my machines. To do that, I needed a bash script, so I wrote one:

#! /bin/bash
#
# Script to send an SMS email notifcation to Mollie's HTTP gateways
# Based on the SMS2Email script which can also be found on nagiosexchange.org
# Reworked by Dennis Storm - Brainstorm ICT
# Again reworked by Wiebe Cazemier (wiebe@halfgaar.net), to include proper failure checks
