>From the users manual:
Example 4: sms-service-configuration
Please note that there are a mandatory keyword and an optional keyword-regex
fields. That means that service selection can be simplified as in the
following example. Suppose that some Web-content should be delivered to the
mobile. Different costumers use the same service but they rely on different
keywords. Whenever a sms-service is requested, Kannel first checks whether a
regex has been defined, if not a literal match based on keyword is
performed. If a regex is configured then the literal match is never tried.
group=sms-service
...
keyword=web_service
keyword-regex=^(data|www|text|net)$
get-url=http://someserver.net/getContent.jsp
...
Here it says that keyword is mandatory, even if it won't be evaluated
because you have a keyword-regex. So in your case, your sms-service group
could be:
group = sms-service
name = SLG
keyword = SLG
keyword-regex = "^SLG[0-9]+$"
text = "Hi there,SLG %a %b"
catch-all = true
What happens if you use this config?

btw, Nikos, are you Greek, as the name implies ? if so, could you
perhaps give me a ring (I will send my phone number)
