You disappoint me, Rene. Reread his mail more carefully. He is very
explicit:
There are no stores in my /etc/kannel/kannel.conf
Neither store-type nor store-location is defined in it.

He says:
I need to make sure Kannel has no queue or pending messages when I start
the daemon. How can I do that?
So to my understanding he wants to purge the queue before starting Kannel.
Ulf: Can you clarify your question?

Rene,
To my understanding Ulf just wants a quick, clean shutdown. He thinks that
queue is his problem, but I don't think so with the traffic he has, so
that's why I am asking for his logs...

I think that Ulf wants to have NO queue. Instead of a spool queue.

Hi,
Simple answer. You can't. SMS is asynchronous, therefore multiple queues
have been implemented. Even if you don't have a file queue, Kannel still
has
a lot of memory queues. By typeing <Ctrl-C> twice, kannel will die
immediately, but you will loose all pending SMS in memory.
You should have a file storage. In fact having all sms in memory is
causing
kannel to delay, since it tries to process these SMS before quitting.
File
storage doesn't affect that behaviour, and on top of that will preserve
SMS
if you try a double <Ctrl-C>.
Configure store-type as spool. If you still get problems shutting down,
please post maximum detail bb logs of your shutdown attempt.
BR,
Nikos

Subject: Kannel store/queue
Hi!
I'm trying to find out the default behavior of Kannel when no store or
spool is defined.
I have a system that, using HTTP requests to Kannel, send SMS's to end
users. The typical usage is around a few hundred SMS's per day. Because
my
system is now about to be upgraded, I shut down the daemon that sends
the
requests to Kannel, but unfortunately that was not enough to stop
sending
SMS's because Kannel seemed to throttle and queue the requests,
spreading
out messages 24hrs after that until I shut down /etc/init.d/kannel.
There are no stores in my /etc/kannel/kannel.conf
Neither store-type nor store-location is defined in it. Will Kannel keep
a
persistent disk queue somewhere anyway?
I need to make sure Kannel has no queue or pending messages when I start
the daemon. How can I do that?
I'm using 1.4.1-2, Debian Lenny.
