sipwitch.cgi(8) GNU Telephony sipwitch.cgi(8)NAME
sipwitch.cgi - web services for sipwitch
SYNOPSIS
sipwitch.cgi
DESCRIPTION
This is not meant as a user executed application. Instead, sipwitch.cgi will be symlinked to or typically executed from a web server's
cgi-bin directory. This utility offers a remote web-driven XMLRPC interface for managing a locally resident sipw daemon, including the
ability to collect statistics and call information, and to perform control operations. This is meant to support creation of remote manage-
ment applications for sipwitch, especially when sipw might be executed on a dedicated router.

sipw(8) GNU Telephony sipw(8)NAME
sipw - sipwitch service daemon
SYNOPSIS
sipw [options]
DESCRIPTION
This is a service daemon for the SIP protocol. This daemon enables sip devices and softphone applications to register as well as to route
messages for the SIP protocol between arbitrary endpoints, both locally and remote over the Internet using DNS to resolve destination
uri's. As a telephone system, sipw offers call redirection, speed dials, call forwarding, sms style instant messaging, and the ability to
ring multiple user agents tied together under a common user id.
The sipw daemon is also being used as a mediator for desktop telephony. For this purpose, sip users become the same as normal login
accounts which happen to be in a specific group of sipusers, and sipw will assume a role for VoIP services similar to what gstreamer does
for media.
OPTIONS
Normally the sipw daemon is started from an init script or upstart rather than manually, and hence only those options setable in the
/etc/default/sipwitch config file can be set. However, the sipw daemon can be manually started, both in the foreground for testing, and in
the background. If this is done, a number of options may be passed to it directly as documented.
--background
Execute the sipw daemon detached in the background (default).
--concurrency=level
Set the pthread concurrency level for the sipw process.
--debug=level
Specify debug logging level (0-9). When run in foreground debug messages are shown on the console. When in background they are
saved in the sipwitch log file.
--foreground
Execute the sipw daemon in the foreground, with output shown on stdout or stderr.
--gdb Execute the sipw daemon under control of gdb for full debugging.
--group=id
Specify the group id that the sipw daemon will execute as for receiving control messages or access to daemon managed shared memory.
--memcheck
Execute the sipw daemon under valgrind to validate basic memory management.
--memleak
Execute the sipw daemon under valgrind for full memory leak detection.
--no-localusers
Disable use of local (system) user accounts entirely.
--plugins=names
Load only these specified plugins from /var/lib/sipwitch.
--priority=level
Execute the sipw daemon under the realtime (fifo) schedule, and specify a realtime process priority level (1-9).
--restarable
The sipw daemon will automatically restart if it exits or crashes other than from a manually specified reason. This is often used
on BSD systems when sipw is started from an rc file.
--trace
Logs sip messages the sipw daemon sends and receives.
--version
Print the currently installed version of sipwitch to standard output.
