Hi Giovanni,

Seems like a typo, nohub vs nohup.
( in my motherlanguage they sound the same :-) )
But i would suggest to create a small shell script like this:
----------------
#!/bin/bash

sleep 20
/usr/share/ofono/scripts/ipts/send-sms /ril_0 0123456789 "test msg" 0
----------------

And run that with nohup.
The \" and && can be confusing on a commandline.

Kind regards,
Ed
