What would be great is a command line interface to this. Anyone know of anything like that?

Send SMS messages to mobile phones from iChat
Authored by: WildWest on Jul 02, '03 01:44:01PM

where did you get this AIM version from? I downloaded the latest version from the AIM site and all i got was version 4.5.995, not 4.6b1.1131 as stated in the original post. And this trick does not seem to work with my version...

Command line/Email access to SMS
Authored by: whom on Jan 30, '04 07:02:40PM
You can use an email bridge to the SMS system if you want scriptable or command line access to SMS.

For example, if you have sendmail enabled:

% mail 8005551212@mobile.att.net

where 8005551212 is an att wireless phone number. You could also write a an applescript that controls Mail to send mail that way (using osascript )

This method requires that you know the carrier's email gateway.

A link is provided below with common carrier email gateway addresses.

Note: Keep the email under about 120 characters or it might not make it (SMS limitation: "Short" Message System)

Send SMS messages to mobile phones from iChat
Authored by: below on Mar 15, '04 08:00:37AM
Here is a litte script to do the job. If anyone updates it, please let me know!

#!/bin/sh
# I got my wisdom from http://rsvp.atsites.de/stories/storyReader$194
# Apparently, iChat wants it that way
	osascript<<DONE 
tell application "iChat"
	repeat with a in (every account where id is "AIM:$1")
		send "$2" to a
	end repeat
end tell
DONE
Save this to a file (like "sendmsg"), `chmod +x sendmsg`, and send your messages with `sendmsg below€mac.com "This is a message to you"`(of course, use an @ when you really want to send something)

Have fun

Alex
