Thank you Nicholas! But maybe I was not very clear exposing my questions... I'm using the smsgateway 1.2.1 the stable one version.
1) Even if I use a startup script for Kannel, the main problem remains, the Kannel application has to be stopped everytime you want that kannel reads the new changes in the configuration file. As far as I could be informed this is the behavior for the smsgateway 1.2.1, and should probably be solved only in the version 2.0. 2) On that time, I also I tried sending SMS to multiple recipients, and it worked. The problem is when you want to send several different SMS (with different text messages) for multiple recipients. Do you have any clue? 3) How does it works the Port connections with HTTP client? Shouldn't the connection between the HTTP client and the SMSbox close after sending an SMS.

Both of these issues have been covered in Kannel mailing lists not too long ago, so you may want to search for more complete answers... 1) Not currently...but I noticed you said "kill bearebox and launch it again". Use a startup script (a sample is provided but you'll probably want to customize it) and call it with the restart parameter. 2) You can send the same SMS to multiple recipients by separating each number with a " " (space). Be sure to URL-Encode it properly: ...&to=+16191234567 +16197654321... encodes to ...&to=%2B16191234567+%2B16197654321... This will create only HTTP connection to Kannel. I haven't experimented but I'm sure there is some length restriction on a URL that puts a limit on the number of recipients per request. I have my PHP Application setup to encode 100 at a time.

Hi dear users of Kannel! I've been using kannel at home to test sending SMS through HTTP to mobiles, and so far it is working. But I have three main questions that came up with those tests and which I would like your help!!! 1) Everytime I change the smskannel.conf file I need to restart the kannel gateway (kill bearebox and launch it again), is there any good way to avoid this? I mean, updating the kannel configuration file without stopping the kannel to assume the changes? 2) The tests I've been doing to sent SMS is based on the SMS Push example, described in the Kannel User's Guide, and it is working! But, I realized that everytime I sent an SMS through the Internet browser (HTTP) there is a new connection established with the smsbox HTTP Port (I see that executing the command netstat -a | more). So I am wondering... if I want to send 10 000 sms will I have 10 000 TCP/IP connections established with that port? Probably I am missing something! How does it work the Port connections with HTTP client? Shouldn't the connection between the HTTP client and the SMSbox close after sending an SMS. I'm worried about this behavior! I'll do appreciate your help on this matter! Thanks in advance CG
