Thanks Nikos, for the tip i tried that, i found out the problem was actually mine , i had added a new line to the kannel.conf (max-messages=0) but unintentionally spelt it as max-message=0 (notice the s) so Kannel could not start after the restart. This was outputed in the logs of the bearerbox<conf file> command you suggested. Kannel now works.
Thanks a lot. ________________________________ From: Nikos Balkanas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: harry larry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 4:12:03 AM Subject: Re: Kannel startup issues Well, it could be a problem with the init script (unlikely) or a problem with the configuration file. Try to run by hand: bearerbox <conf file> & And watch the output. If there is a problem you should see a PANIC just before it stops. If it gets up repeat for boxes boxes, same mode one at a time.

The kannel connectes to 2 smsc's and has logs for the 2 bearerbox, sendbox and the smsservice groups. The kannel just stopped by itself and when i issue a startup command /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel start it says okay, but kannel status command /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel status tells me the bearerbox and sendbox is still shutdown. None of these commands gets to the log files. Is there a way i can remedy the situation, thanks for your help. These are the last lines in he bearerbox logs: 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [0] INFO: Kannel bearerbox II version 1.4.1 starting 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [0] INFO: MAIN: Start-up done, entering mainloop 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [7] DEBUG: Thread 7 (gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c:io_thread) maps to pid 23874. 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [7] INFO: Logging thread `7' to logfile `/var/log/kannel/smsc2.log' with level `0'. 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [5] INFO: Client connected from <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [8] DEBUG: Thread 8 (gw/bb_smscconn.c:sms_router) maps to pid 23874. 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [5] DEBUG: Started thread 9 (gw/bb_boxc.c:function) 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [9] DEBUG: Thread 9 (gw/bb_boxc.c:function) maps to pid 23874. 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [8] DEBUG: sms_router: time to sleep 30.00 secs. 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [8] DEBUG: sms_router: gwlist_len = 0 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [9] DEBUG: Started thread 10 (gw/bb_boxc.c:boxc_sender) 2008-11-26 12:27:14 [23874] [10] DEBUG: Thread 10 (gw/bb_boxc.c:boxc_sender) maps to pid 23874. 2008-11-26 12:57:26 [23874] [10] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 12:57:26 [23874] [10] DEBUG: boxc_sender: sent message to <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 12:57:26 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: sms received 2008-11-26 12:57:26 [23874] [9] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 12:57:26 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: got ack 2008-11-26 12:57:43 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: heartbeat with load value 0 received 2008-11-26 13:23:38 [23874] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Creating HTTPClient for `172.16.113.69'. 2008-11-26 13:23:38 [23874] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Created HTTPClient area 0x86beb40. 2008-11-26 13:23:38 [23874] [3] DEBUG: HTTP: Resetting HTTPClient for `172.16.113.69'. 2008-11-26 13:23:59 [23874] [3] DEBUG: HTTP: Resetting HTTPClient for `172.16.113.69'. 2008-11-26 13:24:59 [23874] [1] DEBUG: Timeout for fd:34 appeares. 2008-11-26 13:24:59 [23874] [1] DEBUG: HTTP: Destroying HTTPClient area 0x86beb40. 2008-11-26 13:24:59 [23874] [1] DEBUG: HTTP: Destroying HTTPClient for `172.16.113.69'. 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [10] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [10] DEBUG: boxc_sender: sent message to <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: got ack 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: sms received 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [9] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: sms received 2008-11-26 13:34:48 [23874] [9] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:35:13 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: heartbeat with load value 0 received 2008-11-26 13:39:38 [23874] [9] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: sms received 2008-11-26 13:39:38 [23874] [9] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [9] INFO: Connection closed by the box <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [10] DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: <127.0.0.1> 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [10] DEBUG: Thread 10 (gw/bb_boxc.c:boxc_sender) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [9] DEBUG: Thread 9 (gw/bb_boxc.c:function) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [0] WARNING: Killing signal or HTTP admin command received, shutting down... 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [0] DEBUG: Shutting down Kannel... 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [0] DEBUG: shutting down smsc 2008-11-26 13:41:43 [23874] [0] DEBUG: Shutting down SMSCConn SMPP:172.17.5.247:3787/3787:vmob87:esme (slow) 2008-11-26 13:41:44 [23874] [0] DEBUG: SMSCConn SMPP:172.17.5.247:3787/3787:vmob87:esme shut down. 2008-11-26 13:41:44 [23874] [0] DEBUG: Shutting down SMSCConn SMPP:10.200.6.248:3787/3787:vmob87:esme (slow) 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] DEBUG: SMSCConn SMPP:10.200.6.248:3787/3787:vmob87:esme shut down. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] DEBUG: shutting down udp 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [4] DEBUG: Thread 4 (gw/bb_boxc.c:sms_to_smsboxes) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [8] DEBUG: Thread 8 (gw/bb_smscconn.c:sms_router) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] INFO: All flow threads have died, killing core 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [5] DEBUG: Thread 5 (gw/bb_boxc.c:smsboxc_run) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] DEBUG: Waiting for 2 (gwlib/http.c:server_thread) to terminate 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [3] DEBUG: HTTP: No clients with requests, quitting. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [3] DEBUG: Thread 3 (gw/bb_http.c:httpadmin_run) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [2] DEBUG: Thread 2 (gwlib/http.c:server_thread) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [1] DEBUG: Thread 1 (gwlib/fdset.c:poller) terminates. 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] INFO: Total WDP messages: received 0, sent 0 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] INFO: Total SMS messages: received 2, sent 4 2008-11-26 13:41:45 [23874] [0] DEBUG: Immutable octet strings: 190.
