CONFIGURATION FILE

Configuration is in the file ~/.o2sms/config (or ~/.vodasms/config or ~/.meteorsms/config) or can be overwritten with the -c / --config-file command line option.

Values in this file are stored as one per line and take the same name and format as their command line equivalents.

The one exception to this is the 'alias' setting, which defines a named alias for one number (a straight alias) or more than one number (a group).

Configuration file example:

username frankc
password mong0l0id
nosplit
alias mammy +353865551234
alias beerpeople +353865550000 +353865550001 +353865550002
