Example #1: You have a huge queue (hundreds of thousands) of outgoing
messages going out. Restarting the whole service can take tens of
minutes, specially when you're repeatedly tweaking those services to
try to send as fast as possible. This happened to me before: the
carrier was dropping the link when we were sending too many messages
at once, so we had to trial and error with max-pending-submits and
throughput, and each restart took about 15 minutes, so you get the
idea...
Example #2: You have 20+ smsc binds. Turning all those down and up
again repeatedly can annoy a carrier or two, and also hurt your
service level agreements if any.
I can foresee another scenarios where this would be valuable.

Hi Alex,
patch looks ok but I don't really see why you should be unable to
restart the whole bearerbox...
and I think reload should work for all bearerbox parts...
therefore I'm +0 for this patch.
Thanks,
Alex

This patch improves the http-based admin commands and fixes some
quirks:
1. It adds 2 new commands: add-smsc and remove-smsc that allows for
dynamic adding/removing of smsc's without restarting kannel nor any
other smsc bind.
2. start-smsc now reloads the smsc list from the config file, so
you can stop-smsc and then start-smsc to reload the configuration.
The only caveat is: do not change the id or admin-id (in that case
you'll have to remove-smsc with the old id/admin-id and add-smsc
with the new one instead).
3. Fixes a bug on stop-smsc and start-smsc. Before, you could start/
stop non-existant smsc's, and despite the request would be ignored,
the interface would say that the smsc was stopped/started. Now it
will return an error and log the reason.
4. Fixes a bug on the id/admin-id functionality when stopping/
starting a group with 2 or more entries with the same id and
different admin-id's. Before, the list would get corrupted when
trying to start again, now it works as expected.
Userguide patch coming soon :)
Please review in the meantime.
