Watchdog versus start?

What is the difference between playsms watchdog and playsms start?
Thanks for the answer.

Respectfully,

they’re both the same:

antonraharja/playSMS/blob/master/daemon/linux/bin/playsmsd.php#L299


$LOOP_FLAG = (strtolower($argument[2]) ? strtolower($argument[2]) : 'loop');


// Service parameters
$CMD_PARAM = $argument[3];


// playsmsd
$PLAYSMSD_BIN = "$PLAYSMS_DAEMON_PATH/playsmsd";
$PLAYSMSD_COMMAND = $PLAYSMSD_BIN . ' ' . $PLAYSMSD_CONF;


switch ($COMMAND) {
	case 'watchdog':
	case 'start':
		
		// start playsmsd services
		playsmsd_start();
		
		exit();
		break;
	
	case 'stop':

Hi Anton,

I am in installing playsms.1.4.5 on ubuntu 20.04 and using php8.1 server and I am getting this error message;’

oot@smpp:/usr/local/bin# nano -l /etc/playsmsd.conf
root@smpp:/usr/local/bin#
root@smpp:/usr/local/bin#
root@smpp:/usr/local/bin# playsmsd start

PHP Deprecated: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /usr/local/bin/playsmsd on line 40
Unable to start playsmsd

And when I further checked; I saw the errors to come from line 289;

// Loop flag: loop => execute in a loop, once => execute only once
289 $LOOP_FLAG = (strtolower($argument[2]) ? strtolower($argument[2]) : ‘loop’);
290

And there is also something to do with this function due to a reason that it is deprecated in php8.1
function playsmsd_pid_get($process) {
38 global $PLAYSMSD_CONF;
39
40 return trim(shell_exec(“ps -eo pid,command | grep '” . $PLAYSMSD_CONF . “’ | grep '” . $process . “’ | grep -v grep | sed -e ‘s/^ *//’ -e ‘s/ *$//’ | cut -d’ ’ -f1 | tr ‘\n’ ’ '”));
41 }

Has these bugs been fixed? I am not a real programmer and there is no way i can fix these.

Hi Anton,

I have succeeded in installing kannel in ubuntu 20.04 but playsms is really giving me nightmare for about a week now.

Is there any way I could be helped or advised on the real steps to take in successfully getting playsms to work on ubuntu 20.04 server using php8.1

regards
