ZoneMinder Forums

Good day everyone. Im noob in Linux, will be very grateful community for help or advice.

Description of my problem:

Ubuntu 9.04 + Zoneminder 1.24.2 + Gnokii 0.6.26 + USB-connected camera.
It works correctly, in the mode Modect was succesfully created events.

The Apache user "www-data" have all permissions and successfully performed the call to the specified number:
$gnokii --dialvoice "mynumber"

The script "zmcall.sh"
----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gnokii --dialvoice "mynumber"
date > /tmp/somefile.log
echo "I was called as $@" >> /tmp/somefile.log
----------------------------------------------
placed in the folder /usr/share/zoneminder,
that script, folder and my phone/dev/ttyACM0 have permissions chmod 777

In interface of Zoneminder I create a filter:


The filter is saved and running in background.

But when camera in mode "Modect" create events, created filter does not work = call to the number, witch specified in the script, does not occur.

Anybody have implemented successfully a bunch Zoneminder + Gnokii?
What I missed or make wrong?

Thanx to All.

for sure try to execute the script manually as www-data user

sudo -u www-data /yourscript


and you will can see the errors online, then post them.

Jt, would you tell me, plz, how to properly set the permissions for my Gnokii config filez for user "www-data" ?

I don't remember how I did it but the thing is arround:

/dev/ttyUSB <--- here i think you have to change the permission

also check

/etc/gnokii"conf file"
or ~gnokiiconfile


good luck.

Hello again. Im dont understand anything
I was successfully fixed permissions for my script and command
---------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo -u www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/zmcall.sh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
run successfully - call was created.

But if I turn my camera in "Modect" or "Mocord" mode - event was created, but script not working.

Does my filter (on screenshoot) created correctly?

Thanx to All

try to create a new file with inside:

sudo /yourpathtoyourdialscript/dialscript.sh

and put in the filter : /path/newfile.sh

the idea is to run the file through another with the "sudo" command.
