After you have installed Kannel from the RPM packages you x should now be able to run the Kannel
init.d script that will start Kannel as a WAP gateway. Run the script as root.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel start
To stop the gateway just run the same script with the stop parameter.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel stop
If Kannel is already running and you just want to quickly stop and start the gateway,e.g.to set a new
configuration option, run the script with the restart parameter.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel restart
If you want Kannel to run as a daemon, you need to add a symbolic link to the Kannel script from the
runlevel you want Kannel to run in. E.g. to run Kannel in runlevel 5 add symbolic links to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/.
