I've been playing with a bash script to use Nadav Harel's sendsms using input 
redirected from a file. For some reason it doesn't work. I get the error 
message:
Usage: /home/solomon/bin/sendsms [-lh] [-u 1/2/3] phonenum sender message

I looked at the program and saw that this message means an incorrect number of 
argyments. I then tried adding some debugging info to Nadav's script and I 
see that the program is not getting any paramaters from the input file. 
Typing the same paramaters from the command line works fine.

In short, the following works:
sendsms me "shlomo" "this is a test message"

And the following doesn't work:
sendsms < /tmtp/tmp-sms

where /tmp/tmp-sms is:
me "shlomo" "this is a test message"

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

BTW, I also tried piping instead of redirection with the same results.

TIA
