/etc/init.d/zoneminder restart

3. Or try this :

Your log shows "No such file or directory" , if you do ls -l /dev/vid* ... do you actually see a file named "/dev/video" and in another post you write you did "chmod 777 /dev/video0". Is it your configuration that isn't pointing to the right place? You probably need to include the number of the video device in your PATH.

Yezzz, i don't know why but i change the path to /tmp/myfile.txt and now works, first step ok! but i don't want to create a txt i want to do an action:

system("echo 'Hello I am testing the Alarm' | gnokii --sendsms 474548754");

In normal condition when i put this command in my console i receive an SMS.

But when i put it in /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl i don't receive SMS.

So interesting ...

Any users can create files in /tmp that belongs to them, if you come from Windows world just remember you can't write and do anything you want anywhere unless you are "root" or have the rights to do it -- and by default, normal privileges don't allow you to do anything you would want.

I know nothing about gnokii but I would try to put the full path in zmfilter.pl (/usr/local/bin/...) perhaps that will help.

I so....... ST....... yes thing was that my device USB for the phone had lower permisions

Just i fix it chmod 777 ttyUSB, now its working .

The last thing i am looking for is :

how can i detect if a camera has status ON? (in perl)

I want to create a SMS warming when some camera stops working.

thank you all for share your knowledges with me.

Regards.

Well if you unplug the camera I think the image will become all "blue" (or black?) , not sure if zoneminder will log this type or "error" but this could be useful to detect broken cameras and/or capture cards.

ps: so you have a phone connected on a USB port and you use the phone to send a SMS, correct? What type of phone are you using for this?

i am using a nokia 6020 plus cable CA-42 (its usb), software i use simply gnokii you can download form gnokii.org.

but it just enoght to do apt-get install gnokii

then create a file in /etc/gnokii with this input

Code: Select all

[global]
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
model = 6020
initlength = default
connection = dku5
use_locking = yes
smsc_timeout = 10

to confirm you are working type:

gnokii --identify

and for send an SMS

Code: Select all

echo 'Criminals had arrive to home, we are enjoying here' | gnokii --sendsms 454741547

If you find how to check if a camera is OFF please let my know, i think it will be a new super feature for ZM.

I strongly suggest you first read the documentation :

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Documentation

Added or not the "number" of the video device is also described in the documentation. Changes are that you add it within the PATH to your device, for example /dev/video0 , /dev/video1 , etc and this might depend on the type of capture card you use. If you use a USB camera, I can't help you because I don't have experience with those.

I think that the error is around permissions, try to put to all system chmod 777 and you will see

just a joke
