[Serusers] RE: SER in debug mode

[Jan Janak]

no fork mode means that there will be only one process listening for and
processing SIP messages. In addition to that there will be also the
timer process (taking care of timers) and fifo process (processing
commands sent to ser over the FIFO interface). The child init function
will be called for all of them. See:

root at localhost:/home/janakj# serctl ps
0       6266    stand-alone receiver @ 127.0.0.1:5060
1       6267    timer
2       6268    fifo server

If you want to execute the code in the listening process only, then you
can ignore calls of child_init that have the parameter set to PROC_TIMER
and PROC_FIFO (defined in sr_module.h).

Note that it is usually a good idea to have the same environment in the
timer process as in the receiver as some functionality might be called
from the timer.
