So far I've always launched kannel using 2 term windows, one which I do
./bearerbox kannel.conf and another doing ./smsbox kannel.conf. To stop
them I use ctl-c.
I now need to manage them like apache etc so I want to be able to just
say "service kannel start|stop|restart", ensure they start on boot, and
also just tail their logfiles when needed. How do I convert to this
please? Thanks.

daemons are started via a symlink in the corresponding /etc/rc.d directory
pointing to /etc/init.d/kannel (ie.).
That init.d scruipts are not without Kannel's source package, since every distro
has it's own "style" to use shell functions, variables, result interpretation
etc etc etc. So the best way is to pick a /etc/init.d/<foobar> and copy it over
for the usage of Kannel.
Kannel's deamons can be invoked to detach from the calling shell via otion -d,
so ie:
$ ./bearerbox -v 3 -d kannel.conf
will be enough to detach from shell and go into background.
