p> Hi all,
  
p>  
  
p> I am pretty new to Ser and need help to restart the ser
p> application using a script run by the cron job, The command I am
p> using to restart the ser application in the script is “serctl stop”
p> and “serctl start”. When I try to run this script by placing it in
p> the cronjob it doesnot work. Although it works when I run it
p> manually. Can anyone help me how can I restart the SER application
p> using a script run in the cron job. I also defined the SIP_DOMAIN
p> parameter in the script itself but it did not work. The SER version
p> I have is 0.8.14
