Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

   The module executes route blocks on a timer base. It can create
   new timer processes and execute many route blocks on same
   timer.

   A static faked SIP message is given as parameter to called
   functions, so all functions available for REQUEST_ROUTE can be
   used.

1.2. Dependencies

1.2.1. Kamailio Modules

   The following modules must be loaded before this module:
     * No dependencies on other Kamailio modules.

1.2.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed
   before running Kamailio with this module loaded:
     * None.

1.3. Exported Parameters

1.3.1. timer (str)

   The definition of a timer. The value of the parameter must have
   the following format:
     * "name=_string_;mode=_number_;interval=_number_"

   The parameter can be set multiple times to get more timers in
   same configuration file.
     * name - name of the timer.
     * mode - if set to 1, will create a new timer process.
     * interval - timer interval in seconds.

   Default value is NULL.

   Example 1.1. Set timer parameter
...
modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=ta;interval=10;mode=1;")
...

1.3.2. exec (str)

   Specify route to be executed on timer. The value of the
   parameter must have the following format:
     * "timer=_string_;route=_number_"

   The parameter can be set multiple times to get more routes
   executed on same timer.
     * timer - name of the timer.
     * route - the index of the route to be executed.

   Default value is NULL.

   Example 1.2. Set exec parameter
...
modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=ta;interval=10;mode=1;")
modparam("rtimer", "exec", "timer=ta;route=8")

route[8] {
    xlog("timer routine: time is %TF\n");
    # delete from my sql cache table entries older than 2H
    sql_query("delete from kamailio_cache where last_updated<$TS-3600");
}
