Overview

Exec module allows to start an external command from a seri script. The commands may be any valid shell commands, the command string is passed to shell using "popen" command. ser passes additionally lot of information about request in environment variables:

  • SIP_HF_<hf_name> contains value of each header field in request. If a header field occurred multiple times, values are concatenated and comma-separated. <hf_name> is in capital letters. Ff a header-field name occurred in compact form, <hf_name> is canonical.

  • SIP_TID is transactioni identifier. All request retransmissionsi or CANCELs/ACKs associated with a previous INVITE result in the same value.

  • SIP_DID is dialogi identifier, which is the same as to-tagi. Initially, it is empty.

  • SIP_SRCIP is source IP address from which request came.

  • SIP_ORURI is original Request-URIii.

  • SIP_RURI is current Request-URI (if unchanged, equal to original).

  • SIP_USER is userpart of current Request-URI.

  • SIP_OUSER is userpart of original Request-URI.
