ModemManager 1.14.0: Can't send sms with some chars

[Stanke, Scott]

Hi Thilo,

Thanks for pointing out the “>” causes the shell to attempt redirect mmcli’s output into a file.

I still see the “…Cannot generate PDUs: Error processing input text” after the “# mmcli –s 6 –send” command. Digi International is assigning a resource next week to look into: “confirm that we are using UTF-8 locale in our setup”.

Best Regards,

Scott

I understand the command from the Digi router shell: "modem sms-text 16511234567 world范例" runs the following commands:

# # mmcli -m 0 \
 # > --messaging-create-sms="text='hello world范例',number='+16511234567'"
# # mmcli -s 6 --send

My test results, when running the above commands from the shell, shows the "/bin/sh: can't create --messaging-create-sms=text='hello world范例',number='+16511234567': Read-only file system" probably because I do not have the correct permissions when running from the shell. I will ask our Engineering team how to find if this filesystem error is seen when executing "--messaging-create-sms..." after the router shell command: "modem sms-text...".

AFAICS the error you get is due to an extra ">" character in the command line you quoted above (at the beginning of the second line). This causes the shell to attempt to redirect mmcli's output into a file instead of supplying the desired CLI arg.

Thilo
