Package: smstools
Version: 3.1.14-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
Smstools currently checks a couple of directories every x seconds.
That is inefficient:
1. it doesn't react immediately on new outgoing sms messages, delaying their
transmission
2. it polls when it is not neccessary, using system resources
Regarding point 2: this is a real problem in situations where for example a
simple server like a raspberry pi is used.
I suggest to use inotify: smstools can then sleep forever and as soon as a new
file appears in its outbound directory, it is woken up immediately.
Of course it needs to explicitly scan the outbound directory when it starts up
as new files may have appeared while it was not running.
