NAME

coventry − run a coventry service

SYNOPSIS

coventry [options]

DESCRIPTION

Starts an instance of the coventry ip telephony server. Coventry manages up to 80 sip endpoints under a 2 digit dialing plan. Coventry also supports messaging over sip. Coventry uses a single config file to define each sip endpoint, call groups, and other features.

Normally coventry is started from an init service, but it can be executed directly in the foreground, particularly for testing. Debug builds start in the source test directory, and release builds operate on live systems.

In addition to telephones, Coventry can act as a sip messaging broker for facility integration and to run security systems.

OPTIONS

−6

Enable IPV6 operation. This forces all name resolutions to be ipv6.

−−config=path

Alternate config file to use. The default is /etc/coventry.conf. A custom.conf can also exist in the server prefix directory with site specific config overrides.

−−prefix=path

Specify alternate data volume. This normally would be /var/lib/coventry. The most common use might be to remap the data volume for use in a container.

−−verbose

Display verbose output. This is useful when running locally to test the service.

−−help

Outputs help screen for the user.
