I guess I'm a bit too creative when it comes to kamailio syntax.... just edited the cfg file and got the following error upon startup:

kamctl start

INFO: Starting Kamailio :

/usr/sbin/kamctl: line 1915: 5294 Segmentation fault $OSERBIN -P $PID_FILE -f $ETCDIR/kamailio.cfg $STARTOPTIONS > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

ERROR: PID file /var/run/kamailio.pid does not exist -- Kamailio start failed

I assume it is my syntax in cfg that creates this, I just need to correct it, but if there is interest, I can provide the faulty cfg file
