Thx for the quick response. > Step 1. Check to see if /var/log/kannel exists
yes it does > Step 2. Check to see if /var/log/kannel/kannel.log is being written to. yes > Step 4. Check to see if user you are running kannel as can write to > kannel.log (did you run it as root the first time, and as > yourself later?) Right now kannel runs as root, thats another question i had. Is it safe to run as root ? which user should i run it as ? Any commandlines for doing so ? Should it be run as root first and then switched to run as another user ? > Step 5. Is kannel writing to the log file at all? yes I greped through the files and after log level was changed to 0 from then onwards i can see all the logs inside those files. Thx. One more question, bearerbox and smsbox print everything on the screen, any ways to avoid it ? so i can send both bearerbox and smsbox in background and just exit ssh. -- regards, Anand
