Re: RedHat 9 and Kannel 1.4.0 (Compile failed)
Zeko: What happens theres is that redhat doesn't install all ofthe openssl packages in standard places. l solved this by copying the files were kannel is Expecting them. If you google around you'll see that Kannel is not the only one hqving trouble locating those files! Good luck! Alejandro
Mblox Patch
Hello! I've been trying to search in the mailing lists how i can get the mblox patch for version 1.3.2 (I understand the patch only works with this ver. of kannel) but i have not had any success. I understand i need to use CVS, but im totally new to CVS so i can't find the patch. Can someone be so kind to explain to me where (and how) i can download this patch? Thank you, Alejandro Ramírez
Re: sms send problem
John: Hello, from your post I understand you do not have a GSM modem as SMSC, nor do you have a connection to a real SMSC. So... you cannot send and SMS as a result. This is logical. I recomend further reading as to how this type of messaging works. Am i not understanding you maybe? If so, pls post your smskannel.conf so we can be of help Greetings, Alejandro - Original Message - From: john decot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@kannel.org Sent: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 23:53:52 -0600 Subject: sms send problem Hi all, i m first time to setting up kannel. i have used sample smskannel.conf and run the daemon. i have tried to sent sms from http.

Re: Kannel Suicide
Very interesting this MONIT thing... is it possible to see how your script
starts kannel.. my init.d script does not create a PID file in /var/run for
smsbox or sqlbox or... any box. How do you manage that??
Thank you!

Subject: Re: Kannel Suicide
Reuben,
My problem is that when I start kannel and send an sms via the HTTP
service on my server everything is ok and I leave bearerbox and smsbox
running. But when I check back on them, I always find something wrong.
Sometimes smsbox kills itself and the HTTP service is no longer
available.. Sometimes both processes kill themselves. Sometimes
brearerbox looses connection with the SMSC and I have to restart
bearerbox for it to try to login again. Is there a way how this can be
avoided? If the connection is lost with the SMSC, can bearerbox
reconnect to the SMSC automatically? If the processes are terminated
unexpectedly, can I create a bash script that detects if they are
running and if not, it launches them? I was going to killall bearerbox
and killall smsbox every few hours and re launch them again but it is
not very wise because kannel might still be down for hours until the
next killall and relaunch commands are executed. I dont afford one
second of downtime. And if kannel was performing ok, it would have been
killed and relaunched for nothing. Can anyone help please in avoiding
kannel to commit suicide? Or if it does, can we resurrect it immediately?
Been there. Done that. Two things: First of all, it would be
good to do a grep -rF PANIC /your/kannel/log/dir/* to find what's
causing them to crash -- it may be something that's been fixed or could
be fixed. Secondly, use a monitoring daemon. I built some init scripts
for Kannel (one for bearerbox, one for smsbox -- then since I'm using
Gentoo I made smsbox depend on {and thus automatically start} bearerbox,
and bearerbox will also stop smsbox before it stops itself accordingly).
I personally use monit. I have it watch the PID file of smsbox, and
have it call /etc/init.d/bearerbox stop to stop the service,
/etc/init.d/smsbox start to start it. I did have to do some extra
work with scripts for monit because monit will call only the start
script if the process is not running, which won't work because the
damaged bearerbox really needs to be stopped first too. Anyway, back to
the first statement. I have had what *was* the latest Kannel break WAP
with some handsets, so I instead had to backport and add new patches to
my working version to keep it from PANIC'ing. For whatever reason, if
the slightest little thing goes wrong and triggers an assert(), Kannel
freaks out and exits. For me it was empty PDUs from WAP and then more
recently empty List's. Neither of those actually cause catastrophic,
irrecoverable damage to Kannel if I wrap them up in quick if ( x ==
NULL ) checks, so they obviously weren't that bad. You're probably
seeing the same sort of non-fatal oh crap, let's panic and exit checks
biting you. As stated, they may have already been fixed, or may be
really easy to wrap up in a quick check to keep them from taking down
your Kannel as well.

Re: DATAGRAM MODE
Again thank you Envin!! Jeetendra... to place my scenario: I have several SMPP connections and in the previous config if I modifyed smsc_smpp.c it would alter all of my connections. Besides i only needed this type of SMS message during one broadcast and this SMPP connection was used for several other applications. Overall Enver's patch is a real life saver. It should be included in the next version of Kannel!

DATAGRAM MODE
Hello All!! I really need to set up a broadcast, but telco is asking me to send the messages with ESM CLASS of DATAGRAM MODE. I've read in the mailing list and I've changed the line 638 of the code of smsc_smpp.c to the corresponding type. How ever when I try to send a SMS it STILL goes out with the ESM CLASS of STORE Forward??? Do i need to change the code somewhere else?? Do i have to ask the Telco to comply to this settings?? Any Help will be appreciated! thank you!!! Alejandro Ramirez
SMS Service questions
Hello All!
I've been using consistently kannel for a few months and i'm really happy with
it... however i have a question about regex
Right now i have this service:
group = sms-service
keyword = testing_u
keyword-regex=^(BS|bs)
allowed-receiver-prefix=333;50
#catch-all= true
get-url = http://192.168.9.180/entrance.asp?phnmbr=%pmsg=%aService=%isvc=%P;
accept-x-kannel-headers = true
max-messages= 0
It matches any service starting with BS or bs.
Im trying it to match bs and 4 digits after it like this BS 1234 TY 123
keyword-regex=^(BS|bs)\s\d{4}.*
but it DOES not match :(
Any clues of what i might be doing wrong??
Thanks!

Match two services at the same time??
Hello all! I'm trying to make Kannel match two services at the same time... is this possible for example one might do a simple get-url while other with get-url with max-messages=0 (Billing purposes) is this possible? How do you guys do your billing using Kannel?? Thank you!! Alex!
