Linux Telnet Vt100 Return Key Sends ^M

Telnet control character behaviour in CentOS vs Windows

Don't have enough rep to comment

Are you aware, that line-endings in (escapes are octal)

• Windows are CR+LF (\015\012)
• Linux is only LF (\012)

the additional RETURN you have to enter, after CTRL-X, may be necessary after each executed command?

If it is like this, the gateway would encounter a concatenation of all sent strings, trying to parse them, inappropriately, as a single command (from your CentOS [hence Linux] machine)

Handle terminal window closing

I did some googling, at it turns out expect supports the trap command which allows to run a script when a certain Unix signal is sent to the process hosting the interpreter.

It appears you have to trap SIGHUP but may be you'll also need to trap SIGTERM and/or SIGQUIT. man 7 signal — if on a Linux-based OS — for more info (on a different OS flavor the manual page section may be different).

Convert expect output from DOS to UNIX style in realtime

It turned out the problem is really simple.

What I am doing with my scripts is calling them like below:

expect script.exp > mylog

As told in the description, mylog contains ^M line-endings when opened in Vim or using cat -v mylog.

To get rid of them in real-time, I just call now:

expect script.exp | tr -d '\r' > mylog

TCL/Expect encoding

In the end, i convert only the messages in base64, with this works fine.
i follow this(in view mode, doesn't view anything):

    =vgsm_sms_tx Action=

The vGSM Asterisk's channel driver provides a manager action to send Short Messages (SMS). The action is named '''vgsm_sms_tx'''.

If the message does not contain characters in the [http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/default_alphabet.html GSM default alphabet] the message will be sent with UCS2 but the available characters will be reduced to 80.

In pre-0.21.0 releases the action was named '''VGSMsmstx'''. This name is now deprecated and vgsm_sms_tx will be supported starting from 0.21.0.

''IMPORTANT'': Asterisk Manager Interface does NOT support line lengths greater that 80 characters, including the header name, thus, it is mandatory to split the '''Content''' header in more headers with at most 65 characters each, unfortunately the splitting is supported starting from vstuff 1.0.0 which is not yet released. Please use a snapshot in the meantime.
''FIXME!!'' This statement needs to be confirmed. Asterisk version 1.4.14 allows a message of 160 char in one single Content: line. Will a message of size > 160 trigger more than 1 SMS?
