This is an issue regardin the shell, not gnokii, maybe man bash should
have helped you :).

As your example suggest, and this one 

echo "Message" | gnokii --sendsms <number> 

confirms, the text  to be sent as SMS is readed  from stdin (yes, this
solves your problem AFAIK).

All you need is  to do is play around with pipes  or here documents or
even here strings  (with bash, see the man page of  the shell you use)
as you feel it suites more to your taste.
