Actually the cause is the closing of the bearerbox-connection, causing read_from_bearerbox_real to return -1 and in turn the smsbox to shutdown. > (1) Could you please post panic logs?I don't think it is due to the > pid file.

This could include the pid file as well. This is only the case when combined with --daemonize/-d. At any rate I start Kannel absolute paths for all parameters (executable, pid-file, configuration-file. Here is the panic logs: ... 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] DEBUG: MO concatenated message handling cleaned up 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] INFO: Total WDP messages: received 0, sent 0 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] INFO: Total SMS messages: received 0, dlr 0, sent 0, dlr 0 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] DEBUG: Immutable octet strings: 257. 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: Could not open pid-file `/tmp/core.pid' 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: System error 17: File exists 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: ./gw/bearerbox(gw_panic+0xbd) [0x80f1dcd] 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: ./gw/bearerbox(get_and_set_debugs +0xaeb) [0x80fe9cb] 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: ./gw/bearerbox(main+0x87) [0x80530a7] 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7) [0xb737be37] 2011-08-31 10:31:47 [3755] [0] PANIC: ./gw/bearerbox() [0x8052a41] > (2).

Yes, provided I just the parachute option and an init-script. In my opinion it make little sense to provide a 'restart' command, when in fact only the bearerbox is restarted and all other boxes simply shut down. /Jacob -- Jacob Eiler Apide ApS e: [email protected] t: +45 2374 0486 w: apide.com
