[Linphone-users] how to shutdown Linphone remotely until application restart?

[Sten Kultakangas]

Hi

I'm having an issue with the users who start Linphone at one computer and forget to logout from Windows. Then they login to another computer and start the Linphone there.

Both Linphone instances are then competing for SIP registration leaving the other instance non-operational until the scheduled attempt to refresh the replaced registration.

Is there a way to make Linphone stop further registration attempts ? One admittedly hackish way is to make Linphone crash by sending an INVITE/UPDATE message related to an established call with a specially crafted Contact header containing the "isfocus" parameter as described here https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop/issues/475

However, this will only work if the server were able to place a call to a replaced contact which would require a lot of customization to the server code.

Best regards,
