Create file kannel in /etc/init.d

#!/bin/sh
#
# kannel        This script takes care of starting and stopping the kannel \
#               WAP gateway services (bearer/wap/smsbox).
# chkconfig: - 97 03
# description:  The Kannel WAP and SMS gateway services
# config: /etc/kannel.conf

# Use start-stop-kannel
prog=”/usr/sbin/start-stop-kannel”
args=”–start –background –exec ”

# Source function library.

esac

exit $RETVAL
Add a line at /etc/rc.local

sh /etc/init.d/kannel start

The service sytax is

# /etc/init.d/kannel status
# /etc/init.d/kannel stop
# /etc/init.d/kannel start

Thats all. Thanks.
