[OpenSIPS-Users] Managing Opensipsctl for different instances on same server

[Razvan Crainea]

Hello, Jayesh!

Opensipsctl uses the opensipsctlrc configuration file in order to detect 
which FIFO file it should use. If the OSIPS_FIFO parameter is not set in 
opensipsctlrc, it uses the default value of /tmp/opensips_fifo.
In order to run different instances of opensipsctl, you first have to 
make sure that the opensipsctlrc file doesn't have the OSIPS_FIFO 
parameter set. If it does, you can't overwrite it and the following 
solution won't work. Then if you want to send for examnple the 'ps' MI 
command to an OpenSIPS instance that has the /tmp/opensips_fifo_1 file 
set, you should use the following code:

OSIPS_FIFO=/tmp/opensips_fifo_1 /path/to/opensipsctl fifo ps

In this way you specify opensipsctl to use a different FIFO than the 
default one.
