Sharing an idea for sms reporting in mikrotik/linux

Just to share my idea. Its a bit immature, but its working good as a quick way to get information via SMS. :sunglasses:
The task was to send an sms with specific keyword to playSMS server, and it should then SSH to Mikrotik, and get some information (as described in the script) and send back that info (after making it user friendly) to the sender. so in short it’s a very good and handy way to get the server’s health report via sms Quickly :wink:

Maybe someone here can trim it and make it more useful for everyone. :smiley:

Another idea to reboot mikrotik or Linux or any device via SMS but with a layer of security by providing password or code too. Its basic idea, but can be enhanced or modified to suite any one’s requirement.

IMHO, since you need a separate device anyway, it will be better if you use the API instead of SSH to retrieve and format information.

Other than that, that’s nice, especially if you use a mobile plan where sending SMS is free for a good number of messages.

Both ideas are great and as I can see from the snapshots, they are actually working. thanks for sharing the scripts, it helped me a lot because most of the time at remote locations, I don’t have internet do its a very good and quickest way to get information from my Mikrotik System attached with the Billing system.
