Re: Running Kannel 1.1.5 in backgroud

And if you DON'T detach, it's easier to loop it inside a
shell script or even put it on inittab.

That way, if some *box crash (even if it shouldn't), it's restart
automatically

As in:
/etc/inittab:
k1:23:respawn:su kannel -c /home/kannel/12345/bin/loop_bearerbox
k2:23:respawn:su kannel -c /home/kannel/12345/bin/loop_smsbox

in bin, do a symbolic link from *box to *box-12345

(having the -12345 allows me to have several kannel with different
services, and to "restart" the service with a killall bearerbox-12345 :) )

loop_bearerbox:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/kannel/12345
while [ 1 ] ; do
        bin/bearerbox-12345 -v 9 etc/kannel.conf
        sleep 5
        bin/alert &
        sleep 5
done

loop_smsbox:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/kannel/12345
while [ 1 ] ; do
        while [ "`pidof bearerbox-12345`" = "" ] ; do
                sleep 1
        done
        bin/smsbox-12345 -v 9 etc/kannel.conf
        sleep 5
        bin/alert &
        sleep 5
done

alert:
#!/bin/bash
#export http_proxy="http://host:port/"
bb=`pidof bearerbox-12345 | wc -w| perl -ne 's/ //g;print;'`
sb=`pidof smsbox-12345 | wc -w| perl -ne 's/ //g;print;'`

lynx -dump -source
"http://otherkannel:13013/sendsms?user=user&pass=pass&from=ALERT&to=mynumber
&mclass=1&text=Smsbox%20Down!%0ABB=$bb%0ASB=$sb"
