Thi is a rework of your script, though I did not test it yet.. #!/bin/sh smsfile=email_to_sms spoolfile=/var/spol/mail/sms grep Subject "$spoolfile" >> "$smsfile" if [ -s "$smsfile" ]; then : > "$spoolfile" sed -e 's/Subject: //g' "$smsfile" | awk ' { if (NR > 10) exit print | "/usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT " $1 }' else echo "***********Sorry the SMS FILE "$smsfile" is empty.************" fi gammu-smsd start cat "$smsfile" >> email_to_sms2 : > "$smsfile" Note: If you remove/comment out the " if (NR > 10) exit", then all lines in the file will get processed. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
