Administering the gateway through an HTTP interface
Kannel can be administered via an HTTP interface. All commands are given as normal HTTP queries, so they can easily be given from command lines like this one:
% lynx -dump http://localhost:12345/shutdown?password=bar

In the command above, "12345" is set as the admin-port in the configuration file. For most commands, an admin-password is required as an argument as shown here. Shutdown is for shutting down the gateway. The other commands available are:

• Status, to get the current status of the gateway. No password is required if status-password is not set.
• Suspend, to set Kannel as suspended. A password is required.
• Resume, to set the Kannel state as running. A password is required.
