If you want to create separate instances of bearerbox, you need to create separate kannel.conf files and modify init scripts as well.
I do not see any problem in using 1 bearerbox with multiple SMSC uplinks and routing messages between them. Kannel has a queue per SMSC so shouldn't be a problem. We are using single bearerbox instance with multiple SMSC uplinks without much problems and sending out about 1 mln of MT daily, 2012/11/27 Ombongi Moraa Fe <[email protected]> > Hi Team, > > Ignorance is a bad thing; I used to think setting up a new kannel instance > is as easy as creating a new .conf file and updating with correct > parameters but i now see i was wrong; > > I didn't set up the kannel on the company server I'm running but now I > need to set up another instance of Kannel; I have 2 instances already > running saf and airtel; Now I require another connection which will be used > for Bulk SMS; I already have the receiver and transmitter usernames and > passwords and all this has already been set up at SMSC; > > I've followed discussions on this topic by Tapan, Willy and Alvaro but I > need some clarification so I don't interfere with the currently running > kannel configuration; > > WHAT I HAVE/SEE NOW: > > 1) my .conf files are located in /etc/sms; I usually start the airtel > instance by running /etc/init.d/airtel start; > 2) I've checked out the /etc/init.d/airtel file and seen some paths for > bearer box and sms box; > > RUN=/var/run > BIN=/usr/local/sbin > DELAY=1 > CONF=/etc/sms/airtel.conf > > RUNBOX="${BIN}"/run_kannel_box > BEARERBOX="${BIN}"/airtelbbox > SMSBOX="${BIN}"/airtelsbox > > BBOX_PID="${RUN}"/airtelbbox.pid > SBOX_PID="${RUN}"/airtelsbox.pid > > 3) I've checked out the /usr/local/sbin/airtelsbox and > /usr/local/sbin/airtelbbox and all i see is alot of stuff not in english; > *****Someone please clarify if these files are what are called > binaries****** > > 4) When my kannel is running, this is what I see when i run ps aux > > root 15811 0.0 0.0 22632 108 ?
