How did you solve it? Was the web console helpful? [quote="Hawkeye"] I want to send notification text messages to my android phone from different points in the body of the bash script upon failure of any part of the streaming process to assist in debugging while in the field. Under normal conditions in the field, the monitor will not be attached to the Odroid. I was trying to use the curl command, but always get the message: " could not resolve host " I’ve tested sending a message from my email to text to and from my android phone to email and it works flawlessly, so I know there is nothing wrong with the sms gateway. Is there something missing in my Linux distro on the Odroid that is causing the command to fail, or do I simply have the command syntax incorrect. curl 1234567890@txt.att.net “This is a test message” also tried this: curl 1234567890@mms.att.net “This is a test message” Or is there simply a better way to send notifications other than the curl command…… [snapback]319[/snapback][/quote] Yeah, that's not what cURL is for... there are ways to send email with cURL, but it's usually used for downloading, not sending mail.
