Most of utilities mentioned are really meant to send one SMS at a time using a GSM modem. That's why you still need to write your own shell script to automate it. Anyway, I have to warn you. If you're sending using a GSM modem, keep in mind that sending an SMS will take around 8 seconds per message. So 6000 messages would take more than 13 hours to send if you're just using one GSM modem. It can be faster if you have two or more GSM modems. If you really need to send out that much messages in a hurry, you might want to hire the services of one of the mobile content providers instead to send your bulk messages, but that will cost you a lot of money. -- Gideon N.
