Hi,
Recommended state means bb takes care of all its affairs before exiting. By
forcing it you do not let it do it.
To see how many SMS you have left behind, check your queue from HTTP admin.
If you don't see any pending SMS as you state, post detailed bb logs of
shutting down, indicating the step that sticks, along with configuration.
Bb doesn't not normally stick on exit more than 2-3".
BR,
Nikos

This is not the case. This particular installation sends maybe one or two
SMSs an hour, and I've now tried waiting for 6 minutes. It still didn't
exit. I'm quite certain there are no SMSs waiting to be sent.
In fact, the user guide says in:
http://kannel.org/download/1.4.3/userguide-1.4.3/userguide.html#AEN364
To stop the gateway just run the same script with the stop parameter.
/etc/init.d/kannel stop
You write:

state. Not recommended.
What I don't understand is: What *is* recommended? Assuming it is
reasonable to expect a low-traffic installation to terminate within 5
minutes.
