Hello ! I've been fighting a lot lately with smsc routing and several production services, and i think it would be very nice
- to have an option to enable or disable an smsc in a config like: smsc-enable = true | false Resulting that some connections may not be active unless specified with out the need to change files. - Another nice thing would be to have a way to start and stop smsc connections with out the need to restart the whole kannel, having that would allow us to have a live production system and safely start and stop other connections. Ok, those two are things that would be very useful for me, but there's another that before making a suggestion I would like to know what you think or if some one if already working on it. - When using http admin to restart kannel, happens sometimes that smsbox doesn't make it to reconnect successfully to the bearerbox, it currently works by waiting a few seconds to give time to the bearer to start, but is that really correct? it doesn't always works well as it happens on my system, my system would require more time, that is, by hand. I've thought of possible solutions, but they doesn't seem so correct either. I'll show them 2 u as a brainstorm: + Make smsbox try to connect several times until it makes a connection or a time out or something similar occurs. + Make smsbox do a sort of port scan to the bearer port until its open and connect to it. + Have a concertation box, that is, a box that receives all commands to bearer and/or smsbox and administers order of things and monitors how things are going to prevent errors from happening. + Let bearerbox to start explicitly the smsbox by executing it only when it is ready. Ok there's my participation as brainstorm, some ideas ?? == Oscar OM MANI PEME HUM
