Hello all,

I have routerOS with the dude on it, all that on routerboard with usb. I've attached USB GSM gateway.
How can I send sms notifications from the dude.
I know mikrotik commands but what commands should I use to send notifications with the dude.

tnx in advance

What I did was to write a very simple APP in VB, which takes an alert from The Dude, and then sends this on to the SMS gateway. That way I could control the SMS gateway using a language I understood (VB6).

In The Dude I created a new Notification called "SMS Send" of type "Execute on Server"

In the definition for this Notification, I put the following code:

SMSSender.exe Service [Probe.Name] on [Device.Name] is now [Service.Status] ([Service.ProblemDescription])

SMSSender.exe is my VB6 app, which is then called when a Dude alert is triggered. In SMSSender.exe the alert test is passed as a command line argument, and my little VB App picks this up and passes it on to the SMS Gateway.

In my case, it is a little more complex as I am actually dialling an SMS Gateway using a USB Modem, and issuing a load of commands to create and send SMS messages.

However, it was WELL worth the effort, as the Dude can now alert me when our Internet line is down!!

Any chance you would share the VB program?

What are you doing to detect down internet? Ping google?

@Morphology it would be great if you can share that script with us.
Just to be clear, that VB script can be run from the dude on routerboard ?


tnx

well but isnt it better can send sms directly? rb with modem usb and dude shouldnt use other programs

Percanta, how to send sms (via usb modem) from the dude on routerboard ?

i´d wish to know how to do it....

Sorry for not responding, I didn't tick the box that says "Notify me when a reply is posted"!

I have just posted the source code for my VB app as a new topic.
