Re: [Serusers] exec module question

Hi, I am not sure if SER config file get the error code from the exit() call of your script but I just think so. Assuming it gets the return code, youn should be aware that only three possibilities can be checked from the config file: ret>0 --> config command was successfull ret<0 --> ERROR but: ret=0 --> drop message!!! So, if you return 0 from your script, the message will be dropped, just af it a break had occur... To allow this structure: if (exec_msg("/usr/local/bin/check_register.pl")) { break; } else { if (!radius_www_authorize("")) { You should return a positive value if the scrpit ended OK or a negative value if an error occurred. BTW, using exec|* commands can be a worse solution.......just take a look at older posts about this subject. Hope it helps, Samuel. Unclassified. Hello, I've noticed that 90% of my SIP traffic is REGISTER requests. I am trying to implement some sort of caching mechanism (which will inherently be faster than doing a RADIUS lookup on every REGISTER request) using exec and a perl script which does a lookup from a memory-cached file. I'm using exec_msg() to call the perl script; however it is not behaving as I would expect. Here's the code snippet from my SER config. if (exec_msg("/usr/local/bin/check_register.pl")) { break; } else { if (!radius_www_authorize("")) { I am just in preliminary testing stage so I have the perl script merely exiting with 0 status. exec documentation is not clear as to whether it uses the shell return codes to determine the exit status of exec_msg If I am exit(0)ing from the perl script I would expect the if( to fail, not break and do the radius_www_authorize. Is that not correct? Thanks for the help!
