I’am trying to send a message to WhatsApp as described in the thired method here: WhatsApp Text Messages from OpenHAB - CallMeBot API

executeCommandLine ("wget","https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?source=openHAB&phone=4366004xxxxx&apikey=xxxxx&text=Test")

The log result is: 2023-04-20 17:25:38.949 [WARN ] [rg.openhab.core.io.net.exec.ExecUtil] - Error occurred when executing commandLine '[wget, https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?source=openHAB&phone=436604xxxxx&apikey=xxxxx&text=Test]'java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “wget”: CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden

Any idea what could be the reason?

What is the OS that you use?
Is wget available at the commandline/shell at all?

3

Win10
Do you mean the Karaf Consol? It is not available there.

4

No, on Windows cmd. If you did not install wget, this cannot work.

5

OK, wget for Windows was not installed, but is actually not needed.
The Windows cmd command “curl” solves the problem.
Thank you for the help.

6

Or you could use the HttpUtil so you don’t need to call any external programs.

Its the second method in the linke above.
It works but only with sendHttpGetRequest and not SendHttpGetRequest as in the link.
