Hi M.Ionut and Liviu.

No problem M.Iount.


Thank you very much! The answers was very clarifying!


OpenSIPS has been a super useful tool in my project and people in this 
discussion list has been very clever about questions that rise here.


Hopefully, OpenSIPS will succeed many years in Telecom market.



Best regards.

Assunto: Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] How can I write down the MI commands into the 
FIFO file, using an editor.

Rodrigo,

First of all, sorry for my last response. I was out of line. Appologies.

A FIFO file is a pipe, not a regular file. You cannot edit it like a normal 
text file with vi, for instance. A FIFO is a special inode that transports data 
between a live process and the standart input. You can paste with "echo" lots 
of data into the FIFO file and the data will get to the running process in the 
FIFO way, first data in - first data out (to the process).

If the process creating the FIFO file is run by root, you must be root that is 
sending the data to the file. If the process that is creating the FIFO file is 
not running, the file should not be left in the filesystem. So, if you try to 
edit (sic!) the file, while the creating process is not running, you will get 
something like "file not found", or if you are trying to send data into the 
file as user rodrigo while the process is running as user root, you will get an 
error.

I made an PHP script for my purpose, that is sending commands to my Opensips 
FIFO file and reading the result of that. The script is run by the same user as 
Opensips. If I try to run the script while Opensips is not running, the error 
always could be as "file not found".

If you are writing an C progam to send commands to the opensips FIFO file, 
first of all make sure you are running your program as the sam user as the 
Opensips. Second, make sure that Opensips is running. Then write and read 
results from that file in your C program.

All the best,
M.Ionut

Hi Rodrigo,

Most likely you're starting opensips as root user, however you're attempting to 
write to the FIFO file on behalf of an unprivileged user.

So either do "sudo echo_to_file_command" or just start OpenSIPS in unprivileged 
mode.

Here's my FIFO file, I can write to it:

[liviu ◄ Rivendell ~]$ ls -la /tmp/opensips_fifo
prw------- 1 liviu liviu 0 dec  2 11:02 /tmp/opensips_fifo

Ok. thanks.


I will search about it in operational system context. I used to think that such 
fifo file was 100% supported by OpenSIPS. I didn't realize that it could be 
something of unix.


I'm kind of a beginner in unix or linux.


Regards.

Come on, read about FIFO in Linux, lot's of info on the net! Sorry, but you 
lack some basic Linux OS knowledge ... The FIFO is active and RW if the 
creating process is active and if you have the permissions to do this.

But, if I cann't edit the file, how could a program (let's say a C program) 
write into such file?


I will create a executable that will have to write down MI commands into the 
FIFO file.


Any hint will be very helpful!

Thanks a lot!

This is not the correct way to go about what you are trying to achieve.

You *cant* edit the fifo file. You use (correctly configured) opensipsctl fifo 
to send commands in realtime

Dear OpenSIPS-users,


I my opensips.cfg I have:


---------------------------------------------------------


##### FIFO Management Interface
loadmodule "mi_fifo.so"
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/FifoCommands.txt")    # arquivo para ler 
comandos solicitados por aplicações externas.
modparam("mi_fifo", "reply_dir", "/tmp")                     # diretório onde 
serão escritas as respostas do OpenSIPS, que serão lidas pelas aplicações 
externas.
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode", 0777)                       # permissão de 
scrita e leitura.
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_group", "root")                    # grupo de 
usuários para o arquivo.
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_user", "root")                     # usuário do 
arquivo.


----------------------------------------------------------



When OpenSIPS is not running, I can edit the file FifoCommands.txt using emacs 
or vi, for example.


However, when OpenSIPS is running I can not.  The editor tells me that the file 
is read only Why? How to solve this? Any configuration?


Any hint will be very helpful!


Thanks a lot.
