Probably we should put this information somewhere in the wiki, for now
here is sort of short presentation for each:
1) kamctl and kamdbctl are related, both being shell scripts (developed
over the time from the old serctl/openserctl), the first is for
interacting with a kamailio instances, the second is only for creating
(and managing) the database structure needed by kamailio
2) kamcmd is practically only a binary rpc client that interacts with
ctl module from kamailio -- this was developed by SER project during
2005-2008 (when we were separately)
3) kamcli is written in Python and aims to become a (better) alternative
to kamctl (and kamdbctl), with a plugin like architecture to extend it
with new subcommands, more flexibility (e.g., modules/libs from python
that can be used) and better error handling
For example, adding a new subcommand for kamcli means adding a python
script inside commands folder. This comes handy if you have a kamailio
installation using a custom database table that you access via sqlops --
with few lines of python script you can add a subcommand to manage its
records (add/remove/update), doing validation of the values with python
expressions to avoid inserting invalid records...
Another nice feature of kamcli vs kamctl is the ability to choose the
format for output -- e.g., jsonrpc response can be presented in a
compact form as yaml instead of json.
Overall, kamctl and kamdbctl are part of kamailio source tree and
packaged inside kamailio debs/rpms, likely to stay so, no plans to
replace/remove them, at least in the near future.
kamcli is a separate repository (https://github.com/kamailio/kamcli) and
it is going to have its own deb/rpm file (actually Victor already built
the deb package, available via deb.kamailio.org repositories).
Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,
kamcli tool just got its first official release, a step forward in the
process of packaging it.
It is a command line tool that aims to be a modern alternative to the
venerable kamctl, being written in Python and having already a large set
of implemented sub-commands, such as:
* subscriber – manage SIP subscribers
* ul – manage user location records
* address – manage permissions address records
* aliasdb – manage database aliases
* db – manage kamailio database content
* dialog – manage active calls (dialog)
* dialplan – manage dialplan records
* dispatcher – manage load balancer (dispatcher)
* group – manage group membership records (acl)
* moni – continuous refresh of the values for a list of statistics
* mtree – manage memory trees (mtree)
* ps – print the details for kamailio running processes
* rpc – interact with kamailio via jsonrpc control commands (alias of
jsonrpc)
* rpcmethods – return the list of available RPC methods (commands)
* speeddial – manage speed dial records
* srv – server management commands (sockets, aliases, …)
* stats – get kamailio internal statistics
* tls – management commands for TLS profiles and connections
* uptime – print the uptime for kamailio instance
