• fs_cli connects to a running FreeSWITCH over the Event Socket, which listens by default on port 8021 on all interfaces (::) with the password ClueCon. in context
• The reloadxml command reloads all XML configuration from disk without restarting FreeSWITCH. in context
• sofia global siptrace on|off turns SIP message trace logging on or off for all profiles from fs_cli. in context
• sofia profile <name> rescan re-reads the profile configuration from XML without a full restart, whereas sofia profile <name> restart fully stops and restarts the profile. in context
