kamctl(8)

💖 kamctl(8) — the Kamailio control tool, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is kamctl, and it lives in section 8 of the manual, under the Kamailio umbrella. Think of it as the lil remote control for your SIP server. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kamctl command [ parameters ]

literally</purl> just say the command, hand it the params, and go. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

kamctl is a shell script to control the Kamailio SIP Server. no cap. 💅

She can be used to manage users, domains, aliases and other server options. like, all the admin-y things. she's giving main character energy in your /etc folder. ✨

🦋 COMMANDS 🦋

run kamctl help to see the list of available commands. that's it, that's the whole vibe — the list lives there, go peek. 👑

🎀 FILES 🎀

these are the config files she reads, in all their glory:

• /etc/kamailio/kamctlrc
• /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamctlrc
• ~/.kamctlrc

homegirl checks all three, so put your settings where they actually live on your system. 🍓

💀 NOTES 💀

some commands become available when enabling an RPC engine or a database system inside kamctlrc file. so if a command is acting shy and not showing up, that's why — go flip the right switch in kamctlrc first. 🙈

for some commands, parameters can be prefixed with 's:' in order to enforce string type. example time, bestie:

's:123456789'

that little s: is you telling kamctl "no babe, this is a STRING, do not do math with it." 💅
