SMS in a Box Gem

A little Ruby API wrapper and command line clients for interacting with the SMS in a Box service. We mainly use it for automated SMS notifications from nagios and the like, and integration in our client’s systems for sending messages.

I’m not planning on releasing the gem to Rubyforge, it is way too specialized since it only works in South Africa.

You can however install the gem directly from the Github gem server by running:

$ sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
$ sudo gem install kennethkalmer-smsinabox

After installing the gem you need to run sms-setup to configure the SMS in a Box username and password.

The gem provides a Smsinabox module for integrating in your code, and several command line tools for interacting with the SMS in a Box service. Everything is built using the standard Ruby library (for now).

The included TODO.txt is a nice overview of what is coming.

Enjoy
