200.88.113.251: /* Invoke program test commands tab */

The SMSCON Editor is a graphical user interface to the configuration file of the [[SMSCON]].

It has been created with PyQT (PyQt v4.7.5 for Python v2.6) and the functionality is provided by Python.

With its assistance the user is able to edit from a GUI all the options and name the secret pass-phrases of the commands used for controlling the device by the [[SMSCON]] and are stored at its configuration file, i.e. the <code>/usr/bin/smscon_config</code> file.

In addition, it provides an interface to initialise (i.e. init, start, stop, reset and set/remove from the device's boot sequence) the <code>smscon_daemon</code>.

=Installation=

The application can be installed directly by the Application Manager (HAM) and the [[Extras]] repositories. (Check [http://maemo.org/packages/view/smscon-editor/ here] for its status)

You can also find the latest version in the [https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1848&release_id=4063 garage project page].

The editor depends (not verified yet) at:
* python2.5
* python2.5-qt4-gui
* python2.5-qt4-core

=Usage=

FIXME: add explanations
