I have had Kannel running for a couple of months without a hitch. For no apparent reason, a couple of weeks ago it suddenly quit sending messages but started queuing them. I am using a Multitech modem. When I looked at Kannel's status page it showed my SMSC connection name in red and the SMS: sent (in the middle of the status page) said "(98 queued)".
I tried to to restart Kannel and bearer box would not shut down. I assume it was waiting to process the queued messages. I finally kill -9'd it and restarted Kannel. It would not connect to my modem. So I shut Kannel back down. I left it down for a couple of days until I had some time to look at it. When I started kannel up again, everything was working fine. I never like problems that fix themselves because I know they will be back. Two days ago it stopped sending messages again, after only 3 days of functioning. This time the SMS connection does not show in red but, everything is being queued. I have tried to shutdown just the SMSC connection to my modem. The response I get is "Denied". Can this only be done if I have included a password in the smsc group in the config file? I also tried to place kannel in the suspend mode using the status password but also received the "Denied" response. Below I have included the current response page. Can anyone tell me why Kannel would simply start queuing instead of sending messages? Could this be a full memory problem in my modem? If it could, what are the best settings for equipment/memory/SIM usage using a GSM modem to manage the memories of this equipment? I asked this question earlier without any response here: http://www.kannel.org/pipermail/users/2008-September/005616.html Thanks for any help you can give. I really appreciate it. -Tony Kannel bearerbox version `cvs-20080613'. Build `Jun 24 2008 23:13:52', compiler `4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)'.
