o2sms - A perl script to send SMS messages using .ie websites.

DESCRIPTION

CONFIGURATION FILE

Configuration is in the file "~/.o2sms/config" (or "~/.vodasms/config" or "~/.meteorsms/config" or "~/.threesms/config") (or "~/.aftsms/config") or can be overwritten with the -c / --config-file command line option. Values in this file are stored as one per line and take the same name and format as their command line equivalents. The one exception to this is the 'alias' setting, which defines a named alias for one number (a straight alias) or more than one number (a group). Configuration file example:

  username frankc
  password mong0l0id
  nosplit
  alias mammy +353865551234
  alias beerpeople +353865550000 +353865550001 +353865550002
