RUN_KANNEL_BOX(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

run_kannel_box — run a Kannel box 💅 that's it, that's the whole assignment bestie

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

run_kannel_box [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--min-delay SECONDS] BOXPATH [boxoptions...]

so you got your two bracketed optional guys — --pidfile PIDFILE and --min-delay SECONDS — then BOXPATH which is very much not optional, and then boxoptions... where the ... is doing a lot of heavy lifting 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so run_kannel_box runs a kannel(8) box, which is literally just one of the daemon programs of Kannel ✨ no cap, that's the vibe.

Kannel is an WAP and SMS gateway 🌸 (yes "an", we don't make the rules, we just run the box). Let's break that down because the acronyms are giving alphabet soup:

• WAP is short for Wireless Application Protocol, and it's used to implement hypertext based services on mobile phones 👑
• SMS is short for Short Message Service, and it's used to send and recive short (up to 160 characters) text messages with mobile phones 💖 and yes, SMS can also be used to implement simple text based services on mobile phones 🌈 two jobs, one legend
