ser(8) Sip Express Router ser(8) NAME ser - very fast and configurable sip proxy SYNOPSIS ser [ -hcrRvdDEVT ] [ -f config-file ] [ -l address ] [ -n processes-no ] [ -N tcp processes-no ] [ -b max_rcv_buf_size ] [ -m shared_mem_size ] [ -w working-dir ] [ -t chroot-dir ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] [ -P pid-file ] [ -i fifo-path ] [ -x socket-path ] DESCRIPTION ser or Sip Express Router is a very fast and configurable SIP proxy. OPTIONS -h Displays a short usage description, including all available options. -c Checks the config file and displays the aliases and listen interface list. -r Uses dns to check if it is necessary to add a "received=" field to a via. -R Same as -r but uses reverse dns. -v Turns on via host checking when forwarding replies. -d Turns on debugging, multiple -d increase the debug level. -D Runs ser in the foreground (it doesn't fork into daemon mode). -E Sends all the log messages to stderr. -T Disables TCP support. -V Displays the version number. -f config-file Reads the configuration from config-file (default /etc/ser/ser.cfg ). -l address Listens on the specified address/interface. Multiple -l mean listening on multiple addresses. The address format is [proto:]address[:port], where proto = udp|tcp and address = host|ip_address|interface_name. Example: -l localhost, -l udp:127.0.0.1:5080, -l eth0:5062. The default behaviour is to listen on all the ipv4 interfaces. -n processes-no Specifies the number of children processes forked per interface (default 8). -N tcp processes-no Specifies the number of children processes forked to handle tcp incoming connections (by default is equal to -n ). -b max_rcv_buf_size Maximum receive buffer size which will not be exceeded by the auto-probing procedure even if the OS allows. -m shared_mem_size Size of the shared memory which will be allocated (in Megabytes). -w working-dir Specifies the working directory. In the very improbable event that ser will crash, the core file will be generated here. -t chroot-dir Forces ser to chroot after reading the config file. -u uid Changes the user id under which ser runs. -g gid Changes the group id under which ser runs. -P pid-file Creates a file containing the pid of the main ser process. -i fifo-path Creates a fifo, usefull for monitoring ser status. -x socket-path Creates a unix socket, usefull for monitoring ser status ( same as -i fifo-path but using instead unix sockets).
