Your post has been up less than four hours. You might need to try a little patience....

Do the individual command works correctly from the command line?

Try changing your code to:

Code: Select all

set var="http://google.com.sg/maps?"
echo "$var" | gammu --sendsms TEXT +65123456

Not just that, but in the middle of the night in the United Kingdom when we're all sleeping.

Try

Code: Select all

var="http://google.com.sg/maps?"
echo "$var" | gammu --sendsms TEXT +65123456
The "set" command is used for setting shell Options and Parameters, not Variables.
To set a variable you use the "variable=value" format.

I wonder if that site is reliable? It differs from what seems to be the 'home' site for the project, which gives the commands as arguments, not options.

The Hello World sample from the latter site is:

Code: Select all

echo "All your base are belong to us" | gammu sendsms TEXT 123456

In that case, pull the source code and see what it expects.
