OPTIONS

20       -h          Displays a short usage description, including all available
21                   options.
22
23       -c          Checks  the config file and displays the aliases and listen
24                   interface list.
25
26       -r          Uses dns to check if it is necessary to add  a  "received="
27                   field to a via.
28
29       -R          Same as -r but uses reverse dns.
30
31       -v          Turns on via host checking when forwarding replies.
32
33       -d          Turns on debugging, multiple -d increase the debug level.
34
35       -D          Runs  ser  in  the  foreground (it doesn't fork into daemon
36                   mode).
37
38       -E          Sends all the log messages to stderr.
39
40       -T          Disables TCP support.
41
42       -V          Displays the version number.
43
44       -f config-file
45                   Reads  the  configuration  from      config-file   (default
46                   /usr/etc/ser/ser.cfg ).
47
48       -l address  Listens  on  the  specified  address/interface. Multiple -l
49                   mean listening on multiple addresses. The address format is
50                   [proto:]address[:port], where proto = udp|tcp and address =
51                   host|ip_address|interface_name. Example: -l  localhost,  -l
52                   udp:127.0.0.1:5080, -l eth0:5062.  The default behaviour is
53                   to listen on all the ipv4 interfaces.
54
55       -n processes-no
56                   Specifies the  number  of  children  processes  forked  per
57                   interface (default 8).
58
59       -N tcp processes-no
60                   Specifies the number of children processes forked to handle
61                   tcp incoming connections (by default is equal to -n ).
62
63       -b max_rcv_buf_size
64                   Maximum receive buffer size which will not be  exceeded  by
65                   the auto-probing procedure even if the OS allows.
66
67       -m shared_mem_size
68                   Size  of  the  shared  memory  which  will be allocated (in
69                   Megabytes).
70
71       -w working-dir
72                   Specifies the working directory.  In  the  very  improbable
73                   event  that ser will crash, the core file will be generated
74                   here.
75
76       -t chroot-dir
77                   Forces ser to chroot after reading the config file.
78
79       -u uid      Changes the user id under which ser runs.
80
81       -g gid      Changes the group id under which ser runs.
82
83       -P pid-file Creates a file containing the pid of the main ser process.
84
85       -i fifo-path
86                   Creates a fifo, usefull for monitoring ser status.
87
88       -x socket-path
89                   Creates a unix socket, usefull for monitoring ser status  (
90                   same as -i fifo-path but using instead unix sockets).
