NAME
sipwitch – script control and manage GNU sipwitch server.
SYNOPSIS
sipwitch command [arguments...]
DESCRIPTION
The sipwitch command allows one to interact with a running sipwitch daemon instance on the current
machine. This can be used to create management shell scripts or to perform basic service operations,
using the sipwitch fifo control interface. Normally this command would be used only by root or someone
in an admin group that the sipwitch daemon is running under. If the sipwitch daemon is started by an
ordinary user, the command can be used by the same user to control that daemon instance.

EXIT STATUS
Normally exit status is 0 if the request was successfully processed by the sipwitch service daemon. An
exit status of 0x indicates an error in the sipwitch utility, such as invalid argument parsing.
An error of 1x indicates some communication failure with the server, and a error of 2x is related to
errors on server processed requests.
