Step 1:

      Copy and extract the kannel in “/usr/local/” directory.

# cp gateway-1.4.1.tar.gz /usr/local

# tar -zxvf gateway-1.4.1.tar.gz

# mv gateway-1.4.1.tar.gz kannel

Step 2:

      Installing kannel with start-stop daemon.

# cd /usr/local/kannel/

# ./configure –enable-start-stop-daemon

# make

# make install

Step 3:

      Create start-stop daemon script in “/etc/init.d/” directory and set bearerbox, smsbox, start-stop-daemon and configuration path.

# vim /etc/init.d/kannel

#!/bin/sh

#

# gateway         This shell script takes care of starting and stopping

#                 the Kannel WAP gateway (bearer/wapbox)

#

# chkconfig: 2345 97 03
