[OpenSIPS-Users] Question about opensips start and stop

[Giuseppe Roberti]

Hi.

You have to specify a pidfile for every instance with -P option.
So your commands look like that:
opensips -l 192.168.1.109:5030 -f /var/app/config/opensips_1.cfg -P
/var/run/opensips_1.pid
opensips -l 192.168.1.109:5040 -f /var/app/config/opensips_2.cfg -P
/var/run/opensips_2.pid
opensips -l 192.168.1.109:5050 -f /var/app/config/opensips_3.cfg -P
/var/run/opensips_3.pid

And now you can stop the instances with this commands:
kill `cat /var/run/opensips_1.pid`
kill `cat /var/run/opensips_2.pid`
kill `cat /var/run/opensips_3.pid`

The restart mean nothing used with opensips command, so it try to start
another opensips instance on that address (that is already used).
