Re: [Sipwitch-devel] sipwitch install problem: sipwitch: command: offline

[David Sugar]

The pre-packages sipwitch no doubt starts the sipwitch server
(/usr/sbin/sipw) as part of it's post-install script.  The debian
packages I have made do this also.

Simply doing a "make install" will not start the sipw deamon by itself.
 Hence, since sipw is not already running, "sipwitch reload" would not
work either, and why you get the offline error, even as root.

You can start /usr/bin/sipw by hand directly, or you can run it through
the init script.  Then sipwitch reload (and other things) will work.

Incidentally, if "sipw" is started manually under ordinary user (rather
than root) permissions, it will create local runtime and config files
for that user (such as /tmp/sipwitch-user), rather than using
/var/run/sipwitch.  This means also sipwitch reload would also work for
that user only, you can place a local configuration for the daemon under
~/.sipwitch, and test changes under purely user privs without effecting
a global instance that might also be running.
