/tmp gets deleted upon a reboot. That's pretty standard unix methodology. A new /tmp/ser_fifo should be created when you run SER.

If so are any of you experiencing issues which seem to be related to timers not firing when expected. We set the inv_timeout to a number which approximates a certain number of rings. This worked well when our subscriber base was small however as the number of subscribers, and associated calling activity, grew the timers seem to take longer to fire. We are planning on upgrading to a newer version of SER but I'd like to hear about other real world experiences. >> >> Thanks, Steve >> >> >> >> >>
