MikroTik

I want to know How initialized a variable by sending SMS to mikrotik?

I do these steps:
1-Create a startup script in (\system\schedule) like this: 2-Create another script named SMSScript in (\system\scripts) like this:
3-Send a SMS To mikrotik,such as:
:cmd mypass script SMSScript myvar=value2

After that, the SMS received and the script runs.
But variable (myvar) did not receive the new value. Where is the problem??????
___I also use this Link for my purpose : http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/Sms

wow, More than 50 visitors and no one had any advice.

I don't think you're actually setting a value with the line to begin with.

Try to explicitly set it to an empty string or whatever you want the new value to be, like:

Well, you got some advice. How did it work out?

Hello MikroTik forum,

it is not working also for me with suggested examples. I created Ticket#2012083066000462 for this, let's hope that we will get the solution.

Hello MikroTik forum members,

there was a bug confirmed by MikroTik team, it should be fixed in next release.

3.30-5.21 the bug very long!!

Last reply from MikroTik support is that the bug will be fixed in 6.x version, in next release from 6.0r2, I'm keeping the ticket opened for this

There was no update from MikroTik support team for more than month, I have opened a new ticket for this bug - Ticket#2013010766000731

DjM, any news?

Unfornatelly nothing - no information in changelog of ROS 5.x or 6.x, also no asnwer on both support tickets.

@MikroTik support team: Please provide update on this issue which is open for more than 2 months.

Thank you

Any progress?

There is still no update from MikroTik support team's side on [Ticket#2013010766000731]. There was no reply on reminders send on 29/May and 21/May, also no information in releaselog of ROS that the issue has been fixed. I have send another reminder to support team on 03/June, let's hope that there will be an answer.

Update on 4/June 2013:
I have received information from MikroTik support team, that bug is reported to developers, but there is no ETA/schedule, when the bug will be fixed

:global FanTempCount;

:if ($FanTempCount >= 0) do={
} else={
:set FanTempCount 0;
}

hold on!

Hello MikroTik support team,

Thank you

hold on!

Hi vipe,

can you, please, share more details about your ticket?

Thank you

So, um, has this seriously NOT been working for the last 2 years?
I just tried to implement argument passing from a SMS, but I found it doesnt work.

So right now I dont know if Im doing something wrong, or if this is still broken.

Hi tomaskir,

unfortunatelly the bug is still here, there is no update from MikroTik support team about ETA or fixing of reported issue Bug is confirmed, all technical details were provided in ticket mentioned at the beginning of this topic.

So just to confirm, there is currently no way to pass an argument to a script from a SMS?

And this has been broken for 2 years?

The bug was officially reported by my ticket on 08/2012, from this time I don't have any information about bug fix. I also don't know about any other way how to pass argument via SMS to script.

up,thx.

MikroTik support team,

any news on this topic, please?

After years it seems that we get this working:

1) Make sure that there is no ":local" or ":global" definition of used variables in the script code (variable name used in SMS text cannot be declared/initialized in script source code)

2) Make sure that the variables are not defined in the "/system script variable"

Example code:

Dear DjM,
I was looking for it since long. Can you please provide more information? What ROS version you are using? Can you please provide any sample script in which we can pass variable?

Hello cicserver,

I'm using ROS 6.27, try to use the code which I have provided in my previous post - just the ":log info" statement with two variables, nothing less, nothing more. Then send SMS in correct format (as described on Wiki) and you should see the values in the log entry.

Ok thank you very much for the update, I will test this in lab at weekends, and will post updates.

thank you good man ,
the script is run on 6.31?

I've tested it on 6.33 and it works fine.
