Re: Gnokii-smsd-mysql question

[Paul Darius]

This is the permission and ownership of /dev/ttyUSB0 when it reboot.
$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Mar 27 21:15 /dev/ttyUSB0

and this is what gnokii-smsd..
--- start ---
$ cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/gnokii-smsd
#!/bin/sh
#
# gnokii-smsd  Starts and stops the Gnokii SMS daemon

   echo -n $"Starting Gnokii SMS daemon ($prog): "
   if [ -n "$SMSD_LOG" ]; then
       [ -e "$SMSD_LOG" ] || > "$SMSD_LOG"
       chmod 0640 "$SMSD_LOG"
       chown gnokii:gnokii "$SMSD_LOG"
   fi
   echo -n $"Starting Gnokii SMS daemon ($prog): "
   daemon --user gnokii $exec $SMSD_OPTS \&
   retval=$?
   echo
   [ $retval -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
   return $retval
}

stop() {
   echo -n $"Stopping Gnokii SMS daemon ($prog): "
   killproc $prog
   retval=$?
   echo
   [ $retval -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile
   return $retval
}

restart() {
   stop
   start
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in

   $1
   ;;

   restart

   status $prog
   ;;
 *)
   echo $"Usage: $0

   exit 2
esac
--- end ---

This is /etc/sysconfig/gnokii-smsd
--- start ---
$ cat gnokii-smsd
#                                                                    -*- 
sh -*-
# All options to Gnokii SMS daemon (gnokii-smsd), *except* log file.
#
# Note that due to security reasons, it is not advisable to set the
# database password here (if you can avoid doing so) because it may be
# visible in eg. ps(1) output.
#
# Example:
#  SMSD_OPTS="--user smsd --db smsd --host 127.0.0.1 --module pq"
#

SMSD_OPTS="--user smsd --password gnokii-smsd --db smsd --host 
127.0.0.1 --module mysql"

#
# Log file location.  If you adjust this, see also 
/etc/logrotate.d/gnokii-smsd
#

SMSD_LOG="/var/log/gnokii-smsd"
---end---

and this is the ps output when it running :
# ps waxu|grep gnokii-smsd
gnokii   28386  1.0  1.2  32280  2748 ?        Sl   09:17   0:00 
/usr/bin/gnokii-smsd --user xxxx --password xxxxxxxxxxx --db xxxx --host 
xxxxxxxxx --module mysql --logfile /var/log/gnokii-smsd

other.. the /var/log/gnokii-smsd always empty.
