Hi List,

I’m thinking of starting the boxes asdeamonsand usingrun_kannel_boxto have
them restarting automatically in case of a crash.

OS isRedHat 9.0.

Can I start/stop it like other daemons (likesyslogd) with
an/etc/init.d/kannel start|stop|restart|statusscript??
Does anyone have any examples how to do this??
I find these programs a bit undocumented…

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.
