Sms commands not working for me:
i tried smscon -status and got:
smscon_daemon is running.
smscon -log shows nothing about the SMSs i sent to the device. it ignored all commands i sent - Camera, Lock etc.
using the "Test" emails worked fine, but it currently seems that the application is not processing the SMS messages i send to the phone.
Hi. I'm using version v0.4.4-6 and most things I've tried seem to work fine, including check, reboot, location, camera (have to test in daylight), and lock.
Not sure what 'power' does since I haven't tried it. Does it power on the device from an off state? I guess power off turns it off?
Does trackon continuously record the gps location?
However, even though I have set KEYBOARDDETECT = 'yes'
in the config file, I am not getting any notifications of keyboard use.
Any suggestions?
Also, for the ssh reverse tunnel, can I change the port in my server to which I connect to the N900? I already have a proxy server running on port 8080 on my home server. How about something like 12000 to connect to the N900 via:
ssh -p 12000 localhost -l root
Actually, a potentially good idea might be to set up an 'smscon' user on the server machine, with no privileges and no login shell.
Then, in the N900's /home/user/.ssh/config, specify for the server host the specific private key (with IdentityFile) to be used to connect to the server, and specify the User as smscon. You would then need to generate a special key pair for the smscon user, with no passphrase.
That way, your normal private keys can have passphrase protection, but the one used by SMScon to make the ssh connection to the server can't compromise accounts on other machines, but should be able to set up the tunnels.
I've not actually tried this, but I think it could work in practice.
This would work great, I think. Do you know how to create an ssh user with no privileges and, especially, no login shell?
I tried reading about chroot jail and rssh, but these options still give the user some type of limited shell, don't they? I googled but did not find how to allow only tunnelling with no shell access. Any pointers?
Thanks for the reply. I don't know what happened but when I upgraded SMScon Editor earlier (when newer SMScon wasn't up), it automatically uninstalled SMScon. Is this normal?
Cumulative updates since previous version:
* Added support for new option to send GPS coordinates to both email and sms.
* Increased the size of the username fields - useful with gmail and such.
* Removed smscon from the dependencies (to allow promotion in extras)
Some more information and screenshots in the wiki page of SMSCON Editor (needs work still!)
Feel free to report issues.
On other news:
-I have found how to password protect the startup of the editor in a simple and nice way. It needs still quite some work to be fully integrated but will come in a future version eventually.

Same for me. None of the commands trigger a reply (sms or email). The "test" works just fine for gps, call and picture...
Version: 0.4.4-6
Status: Daemon is running
Log: No incoming (received) sms commands are listed
