I have used such a script for almost twenty years, but it requires a mobile phone subscription. I have recently switched to Threema instead. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

The app is 5 I think, but to send messages from a computer you also need to buy some credits. There are (or used to be) plenty of such services out there, but of course at a price. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Mmmm. I'd prefer to use something that is gratis. Paying for an app could be acceptable (4.99€ - that's a bit expensive for an app that none of my contacts use), but paying per use is not. I'm currently using email, just that the mail doesn't produce a "beep" on the phone. Something that only works on the LAN is acceptable. Run some app in the phone that receives a ping from the computer would suffice. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Well, whatsapp is gratis, but there is no CLI client. email is gratis, but my phone doesn't beep. Telegram is too complicated. Threema is not gratis. Needs per use credits. SMS is not gratis, needs a service (like https://www.altiria.com/enviar-sms-con-script-linux-shell/) Sending RCS is gratis, from phone to phone. Might be done from computer, after pairing. So, I change tracks, and I want something else instead: A combination of an app in the phone, and something in the computer, so that, if they are in the same LAN, the computer can send something to the phone and this one produces a beep or message. (A Linux client that tells, via WiFi, one mobile phone to send SMS to another phone, would be nice) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
Maybe you want to have a look into kdeconnect. You can install an app on your smartphone and control simple tasks from your PC and vice versa. On 27.03.23 15:13, Carlos E. R. wrote:

But can't be called from a script, AFAIK. There is telegram-desktop. I have first to pair that with the phone, it is not standalone. Then it works, as a duplicate of the phone. I don't know when it asks to be paired again. And would send the message to a different phone. I will have to try that pidgin plugin. I just had a look, I don't have such plugin. I can add accounts to Bonjour, Gadu-gadu, Google-Talk (huh?), GroupWise, IRC, SIMPLE, XMPP, Zephyr.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)> Signal is coupled to a phone number, so I guess the Linux client would be paired to the same number as the phone, would be the same account.

Hello Carlos, Just mentioning it because I think it would do exactly what you request. Please have a look at <https://smslink.sourceforge.net/>. It's an OSS client-server solution I wrote a long time ago (but it still works great). It's designed to be integrated into higher-level applications (I currently use it as a plugin for Nagios to send me SMS alerts in case a critical server or service goes down). It requires the use of a hardware GSM module that your PC would access over serial or USB connection, and of course a valid SIM card in the module, so the overall cost of the solution is not null. But the result is really reliable. HTH Ph.

I can confirm - this is the solution (albeit not Philippe's code) we have been using (for over fifteen years) up until we switched to Threema. In our case, messages are triggered by an email sent to the machine that has the GSM modem. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Yes, I have tested in the past software that would communicate with a phone via USB and make it to send an SMS. Could be wammu or gnokii. But currently my use case is just an itch, nothing that justify investing in hardware. My current solution is sending an email to my phone, and eventually I notice it. It is gratis. Some of the proposed solutions here are very interesting, some a bit complex. It seems that we can notify an Android phone with something called "PUSH notification" using a suitable server, and that can be done, if wished, at home if wished, or with an external server. https://ntfy.sh/ seems the easiest, just that I haven't got around to testing it yet. Others proposed solutions that involved running ssh and scripts or smtp in the phone and cron jobs. All those are active connections and use battery; PUSH seems to be passive. It is what banks and others use to send notifications to their apps installed on the phones. (this is mostly guessing, I haven't actually read anything) <https://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_push_notification.htm> <https://support.iterable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000331943-Setting-up-Android-Push-Notifications-> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

FWIW, I tested ntfy.sh and it just works, both ways, between my iPhone and my openSUSE box. No bother at all to set up.

No, I don't think it can. But from this reply of yours, I have been able to gather some more info about what it is that you are trying to accomplish, and no, none of these are going to help you, I think.
There is telegram-desktop. I have first to pair that with the phone, it is not standalone. Then it works, as a duplicate of the phone. I don't know when it asks to be paired again. And would send the message to a different phone.
You can start with just a message SMSed to a phone. When I opened my T'gram account, I did not allow it on my phone at all, for some years.
I will have to try that pidgin plugin. I just had a look, I don't have such plugin. I can add accounts to Bonjour, Gadu-gadu, Google-Talk (huh?), GroupWise, IRC, SIMPLE, XMPP, Zephyr.
Why "huh"? It was only turned off a month or 2 ago. Pidgin has many many plugins. Most are not in any distro's repos. You either get them from a build services, e.g. software.opensuse.org, or worse case, you download source and compile it. Pidgin is a bit stuck in the 1990s , and the bundled tools and plugins are old and not much use any more. But if you invest some effort it can talk to modern services. I previously used it to talk to Rocket.chat, Slack and Telegram as well as IRC, and then had just this one tiny tool in my system tray, taking only 150MB of RAM or so, delivering all my important notifications. Later on I just maxed out the RAM in my PC and ran Franz in the background. It eats several gig, but it works and it's easy. Messy, inefficient, but easy.
Signal is coupled to a phone number, so I guess the Linux client would be paired to the same number as the phone, would be the same account. Same as Telegram.
Correct. But you did not seem to know about it.
How would then I send a message from computer to phone?
It was not clear to me that you wanted to do that.
And it has to be from a script.
Then I would use email, TBH.

You have to pay one way or another. Either with your own time or by purchasing an app. Check out mqtt. I have mosquitto running on my router and home assistant for many sensors at home.

Or XMPP. There is the Conversations Android client, Monal for iOS. To send from your computer via s script you can use xmppc https://codeberg.org/Anoxinon_e.V./xmppc which we also have in our openSUSE repos.

Yeah, well, I have lowered my goals. Sending a beep from computer to phone, while in the same LAN, would suffice.

That's very interesting. It seems the two devices have to be paired while in the LAN. Will it survive days? Like going out, or computer rebooting. The other caveat is, I don't run KDE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Paired once, I think. My phone automatically connects to kdeconnect on my laptop when I get home.

That's what happens when you choose the wrong DE :) Jokes aside. There is a gnome implementation, gsconnect. But kdeconnect should be ok to run it without all the kde fuzz. I haven't done that so I'm not sure what libs are pulled into an install if you choose to install it.

Yes, I run XFCE. Oh, all the libraries are installed, I have the whole KDE/Plasma installed just for those occasions I do want it. But I am unsure that this kind of app would run standalone, it should need some service.

I have used such a script for almost twenty years, but it requires a mobile phone subscription.
Just for completeness - in the beginning (2004/5), it was in fact free and needed no mobile. It just used the landline SMS service centre, which came free-of-charge with my telephone subscription. Later on, maybe 5-6 years ago, we switched to VoIP and the access to the SMSC was gone, so I had to work it out with a cheap pre-paid mobile subscription.

What Adam mentioned looks very interesting though, I'll have to try it out.

What Adam mentioned looks very interesting though, I'll have to try it out. I'm a little bit hesitant about needing an app, I have been bitten before, by apps no longer being supported after an Android upgrade.
I have bumped into sites talking about creating your own app and using your own push notifications. There is a possibility that I have not heard mentioned. Maybe it doesn't exist. Google is pushing an SMS replacement, RCS. Apple refuses to implement it, so iphones do not support it. Android does. It needs help from the providers; in fact, google is not needed if the providers had moved to support it directly, but as they didn't, google moved to do it themselves, and only then providers moved. It uses internet for sending messages "somehow". It can send more than text, and is always gratis. In the USA, SMS sending is gratis, so there is not much interest. But, for instance, it costs me 1€ to send an SMS to an iphone at the other side of the Atlantic, zero to most android phones. Ok, the thing is, there could appear servers to send RCS to phones at zero cost. I googled, did not find it.

Years ago I actually read Uncle Goo's EULA and came away thinking, he's going to know more about me than my mother and my lifelong girlfriend together... plus, have a license to use all the info gratis. So caveat emptor. OTOH, you might be able to fake an rcs server to send a message to your phone using that protocol, depending upon how demanding the protocol is. E.g., long, long ago I wrote a very small script to send text messages from a few job-corporate servers to my pager (yeah, "long, long ago"). Not being a real server, my script would not re-send the message later if my pager was turned off. Other than that, it worked fine. I know zilch about rcs, so don't bet real money on this suggestion.

I think I read the original one, or one of the early ones. When it was not google, but gmail, and one needed an invitation to get a mail account. They clearly said what they would do. Machine read your email was clearly there, not hidden at all, not minced words or clever language.

I'm unsure, I read something about a timeout period.

Yes... It is complicated! Create a bot... create a channel... Put the bot in the channel... Doable but complicated, just for scratching a tiny itch. In my case, just an app in the phone that would receive a ping from the computer, in the same LAN, via wifi, would be acceptable. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I'm having problems. I configured the server like this: /etc/ntfy/server.yml: listen-http: ":2586" base-url: "http://isengard.valinor" cache-file: "/var/cache/ntfy/cache.db" attachment-cache-dir: "/var/cache/ntfy/attachments" And the client like this: /etc/ntfy/client.yml: default-host: http://isengard.valinor:2586 And I try to use the client like this: ntfy publish mytopic "Backup successful 😀" I don't know if this is correct, because the docs do not say how to specify a port in the client. The server does not appear to react (but it might and I don't know). I also tried: curl -H tags:warning -H prio:high -d "Laptop warning" \ isengard.valinor/mytopic:2586 but it is going to port 80 an apache responds instead. I tried to find how to specify a port in the curl manual, and failed, because the word "port" happens thousands of times in the word "supported" :-/ I only found "-P, --ftp-port" which is not it. I also noticed the server logs way too many stats to syslog:

Very nice - thanks for the tip!
Ah. That one looks really nice. Must be tested.
Downloaded the self-hosted rpm version and started it on my dev machine. Worked like a charm.

I'm having problems.
I configured the server like this:
Why bother setting up your own server? Why not use the existing public one?

Hi,
Do we have some instant message client?
In case you are curious, my itch is very simple: sometimes hibernation of my desktop fails, and I want to know when that happens in order to take action (usually just try again). (Hibernation takes several minutes to happen in my current big desktop, so I just leave the room and come back later to check) Thus I have "something" that when hibernation fails it plays some sound. This part is not working (it worked with 15.3, failed on 15.4), but I have not investigated yet. That same script sends an email to my phone. But either my phone takes several minutes to check for email, or it doesn't beep, but the thing is, I'm not notified. So I'm looking for some other alternative. It is just a little itch, not really important, so not wanting to pay for it or using something complicated. :-D -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
