Hey everyone...I'm having a bit of an issue using kannel to connect to multiple SMSCs.
 
I have 3 SMPP connections, and 1 CIMD2 connection.  They're in my kannel as:
 
include   smppConnect1.conf
include   cimd2connect1.conf
include   smppConnect2.conf
include   smppConnect3.conf
 
When I start up, they seem to connect in that order.
However, sometimes the cimd2 connection fails ... especially when I shutdown kannel 
improperly, and I try to reconnect, the smsc operator waits 30 min before I can 
reconnect. (that will be tuned down to 5 min eventually).  However, what I see in the 
logs then is :
 
smppConnection #1 connects fine.
cimd2 connect fails....
I get an error message saying smsc connection failed, and then the entire system stops 
starting up!  It also doesn't even continue to allow the first connection to run!  
 
After about 1 minute, it tries again, and if the connect succeeds, everything starts 
up.  I've not had this problem with SMPP failing during startup...everything else will 
startup fine and the smpp connectio nwill eventually try again and reconnect.  
 
I need a way for the cimd2 connect to fail gracefully, and allow all other processes 
to startup and run, and then for the cimd2 smsc to attempt to reconnect on its own.
 
Am I configuring this incorrectly?  OR will I have to setup a seperate smsbox to run 
that specific smsc connection (the CIMD2.0) connection?
 
Thank you very much - you guys have been a great help - dont stop now ;)
 
Bryce
