here's what we have in /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel on RedHat 9:

(q3 afink afink)$ cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel
#!/bin/bash

RUN=/var/run/kannel
BIN=/usr/local/sbin
DELAY="1"
CONF="/etc/kannel.conf"

if [ "$1" = "start" ]
then
         echo "Starting bearerbox"
         su -c "$BIN/run_kannel_box --pidfile 
$RUN/run_kannel_bearerbox.pid --min-delay $DELAY $BIN/bearerbox $CONF 
&" kannel
         sleep 1
         echo "Starting smsbox"
         su -c "$BIN/run_kannel_box --pidfile $RUN/run_kannel_smsbox.pid 
    --min-delay $DELAY $BIN/smsbox $CONF &" kannel
         sleep 1
         echo "Starting wapbox"
         su -c "$BIN/run_kannel_box --pidfile $RUN/run_kannel_wapbox.pid 
    --min-delay $DELAY $BIN/wapbox $CONF &" kannel
fi

if [ "$1" = "stop" ]
then
         kill `cat $RUN/run_kannel_wapbox.pid`
         kill `cat $RUN/run_kannel_smsbox.pid`
         kill `cat $RUN/run_kannel_bearerbox.pid`
         sleep 1
         killall -9 bearerbox
         killall -9 run_kannel_box
         killall -9 smsbox

fi

if [ "$1" = "restart" ]
then
         /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel stop
         sleep 10
         /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel start
fi




Note:
a) you need to create a user "kannel"
b) you need to make directories /var/log/kannel  and /var/run/kannel 
which belong to user kannel

This script will start the application as user "kannel" and not as root.
