Best of New in Kamailio 3.0.0 - #5: sercmd

Along with Kamailio (OpenSER) 3.0.0 you will get a command line interface: sercmd. Installed on same directory as kamailio binary, sercmd enables admins to connect to running instance of Kamailio, either on same or remote system.

First, you have to load the ctl module in your config, see module's readme:
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.0.x/modules/ctl.html

If you use default configuration in the ctl module and sercmd, with kamailio on the same system, then just launch sercmd.

Among features:

• command history
• connection or single command mode
  
• tab completion
• double tab to list available options
• execute all MI commands from Kamailio core and modules (module mi_rpc must be loaded)
• execute RPC commands (core, tm and other modules)
• over one hundred commands available from core and modules
• change config variables during runtime (module cfg_rpc must be loaded)
• option to format the output
• connection to Kamailio via udp, tcp or unix sockets
• help message for each command

For command line options, run: sercmd -h

Screenshots:

• list registered phones via MI
