No.

Sounds sane and doable.

It depends how does your script call gnokii. In general it is
impossible
to run two gnokii instances in parallel at the moment. (You can use
gnokii locking subsystem to avoid problems).

I can see two solutions at the moment:
1. Make a use of gnokii locking mechanism (but I'm afraid that the
simple
solution may lead to the process starvation)
2. Write own frontend to handle it
3. Use SMSD. It will be probably the most reliable solution. Note that
SMSD from CVS does not work at the moment (or does it? Bozo?).
You need SMSD from gnokii-0.5.0pre2.
