both are maintained and probably you need both.

First is a tool, kamcmd, is written in C for communication with kamailio 
using binrcp - practically executing RPC commands. It can connect from a 
remote host.

Second one, kamctl, is a shell wrapper managing kamailio database and 
communicating with kamailio via fifo file by default, but it can invoke 
sercmd as well (see kamctlrc for setting ctl engine). Thus, at the end 
of the day, you may just use kamctl, but with kamcmd used inside.

Support for lcr was not maintained by the developer of the module as the 
tables got quite complex in the structure, requiring many parameters. 
But if someone wants to introduce them back, it is no problem.

Cheers,
Daniel
