OpenSER can be started using the init scripts or using the openserctl utility. If you start openser using init scripts, you can only stop using init scripts. The same is valid if you start using openserctl utility.
Starting, stopping, and restarting OpenSER using the init scripts:
/etc/init/d/openser start|stop|restart
Starting, stopping, and restarting OpenSER using
/etc/init/d/openserctl start|stop|restart
The OpenSER executable has several startup options. These options, show, below, allow you to change the configuration of the DAEMON. Some of the most useful are:
"-c" to check the configuration file
"-D –E dddddd" to check module loading (don't use for production, it binds only the first interface)
There are lots of others to allow you to fine tune your configuration. For each option there is a correspondent core parameter that you can put in the configuration file.
Usage: openser -l address [-p port] [-l address [-p port]...] [options] Options: -f file Configuration...
