Hello I've been trying to come up with a decent start script to put into /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and have adapted the samba.sh script to my purposes. I've created /var/log/kannel and /var/run/kannel and set the permissions correctly. When I start kannel from the console without the "-d" flag, it works. With the "-d" flag, it does not work.
Here are the relevant lines: /usr/local/sbin/bearerbox -d -p /var/run/kannel/bearerbox.pid -u kannel /usr/local/etc/kannel/kannel.conf /usr/local/sbin/smsbox -d -p /var/run/kannel/smsbox.pid -u kannel /usr/local/etc/kannel/kannel.conf I'd like to be able to start it daemonized without using the start-stop-daemon because I'd like to keep the script as FreeBSD-ish as possible. I'd really hate to put a "&" in my start script, but if that's necessary to get it to work... Anybody else who's using FreeBSD have similar experiences? (I'm using kannel 1.3.2 on FreeBSD 5.2.1, and it seems the -d flag does not work: I find "exited on signal 11" in the system log for both bearerbox and smsbox.) I could send my start script itself to individuals, but I didn't want to generate too much noise on the list.
