Kannel Suicide

[Reuben Sant]

Hello,   I have just installed kannel and I am testing it with my SMSC via SMPP. First of all, the provider gave me 2 logins just in case. I have created two groups with these logins and when kannel starts it tries to connect to both of them. Is that ok to put more than one group in the conf?   My problem is that when I start kannel and send an sms via the HTTP service on my server everything is ok and I leave bearerbox and smsbox running. But when I check back on them, I always find something wrong. Sometimes smsbox kills itself and the HTTP service is no longer available.. Sometimes both processes kill themselves. Sometimes brearerbox looses connection with the SMSC and I have to restart bearerbox for it to try to login again. Is there a way how this can be avoided? If the connection is lost with the SMSC, can bearerbox reconnect to the SMSC automatically? If the processes are terminated unexpectedly, can I create a bash script that detects if they are running and if not, it launches them? I was going to killall bearerbox and killall smsbox every few hours and re launch them again but it is not very wise because kannel might still be down for hours until the next killall and relaunch commands are executed. I dont afford one second of downtime. And if kannel was performing ok, it would have been killed and relaunched for nothing. Can anyone help please in avoiding kannel to commit suicide? Or if it does, can we resurrect it immediately? Best Regards,     Reuben Sant   ______________________ Address: "Soleado", Bidnija Road, Bidnija, Limits of St.Paul's Bay. SPB 13.
