Re: [Sipwitch-devel] Interface Does Not Accept 0.0.0.0

[David Sugar]

In fact, there are probably two issues.  If we do go past eXosip_listen_addr
but it gives an error, we do a shell::FAIL exit, and I do not think we have an
exit handler (atexit()) to remove the control fifo.  Since the control fifo
exists (/var/run/sipwitch/control), it assumes when started again that
another instance must be running...
