Appstarter plugin configuration

This module can be used to start applications when an incoming SMS message arrives. You can specify a set of shell commands that can accept the incoming message text and sender phone number as parameters. Whenever an incoming message is received by Ozeki SMS these applications will be executed with the appropriate parameters.

With the help of this module you can create many event-driven solutions. For example you can notify people on a Novel network with the 'SEND' system command, or you can execute a batch job with a received parameter. Open the Plugins menu and choose the Appstarter plugin, then click on the Install link. After this the installation process is going to start, which takes a some seconds (Figure 1).
