Its very easy to do that, I understand that expired dialogs are reported on
the syslog, with that and openser fifo you can end a dialog by sending a BYE

Are you talking, i.e. Asterisk?

but you need a UAS sending the re-INVITE's

I see what you're saying, problem with this is I don't WANT to HAVE to use
an asterisk or whatever... I want to depend only on Openser.


I believe I can be done with session timers, as you say. What I Don't KNOW
is whether there is a timer to ask the UAC to send us a kind of "keep-alive"
message. I don't know what that message is called, or what module creates
it.

The thing is:

What module's function to use to make the UAC send uns a "keep-alive" whilst
in a dialog every X senconds, setting a timeout for that keep-alive to be
sent and resetting it everytime it's received.

thanks to all.
