Hi all, I found that there will be a memory leak if asterisk running day by day without restart. Is it good to restart asterisk service daily? What is the better way to restart it daily like apache? ango

[asterisk-users] Unable to solve this puzzle when asterisk initates the call
Hi,
I am using Asterisk 1.4.13
The call comes in from a Coppercom soft-switch with a private IP of
192.168.104.2. This gets forwarded to a SessionBorderController with public
IP of x.x.x.x,. This then gets to our asterisk server with a public IP of
8.7.192.58 and a private IP of 192.168.5.0. This asterisk server is behind a
Cisco PIX firewall where we have disabled the SIP and UDP fixups. We have
forwarded all the ports 10000 through 20000 and 5060 tcp/udp ports to the
private IP of the asterisk server.
When I dial 4025901000 the call flows through to the asterisk server where
an IVR is played. When the user chooses 6 the asterisk initiates a new
outbound call to 4023399500 using the inbound trunk i_sip_trunk.
When the user chooses 7 the asterisk initiates a new outbound call to
4023399500 using the outbound trunk o_sip_trunk. The difference between the
i_sip_trunk and o_sip_trunk is that the host ip. The i_sip_trunk has the
host ip of the public IP of SessionBorderController whereas the o_sip_trunk
has the host ip as that of the private ip of the asterisk server.
4023399500 is a test number when I am expecting to hear another IVR "Thank
you for calling Ai Software Solutions we apply technology to solutions blah
blah blah".
Lets find out what happens when the user presses 6 there is extended period
of silence.
When the user presses 7 there is a fast busy received upon pressing the
extension.
Any help rendered from your end would be greatly greatly appreciated. I have
been breaking my head to resolve this problem for a long time now.
Thx
Ravi

Long ago, for 1.2 this was helping to reduce crashes on working time. Anyway - i prefer to restart if i have some inactivity time anyway, rather than have a small chance that it will crash while lot's of calls are going trough. So, if you have timeframe when you know for sure that there won't be any calls, you can restart by initscript. Otherwise, if you have low call volume in night-time, you may modify safe_asterisk script to start asterisk anyway (even if it returns ok exit stats that means shutdown), and then stop asterisk by "stop when convenient") Regards, Atis -- Atis Lezdins VoIP Developer, IQ Labs Inc. atis at iq-labs.net Skype: atis.lezdins Cell Phone: +371 28806004 Work phone: +1 800 7502835

Indeed all those assertions were false. Off-Topic: The big memory consumer I have on my system is $GECKO_BROWSER. I currently have iceape (seamonkey), after just one day of operation: tzafrir 8186 1.1 53.1 763016 264008 ? Ssl Feb12 19:23 /usr/lib/iceape/iceape-bin Iceweasel (firefox), epiphany and kazehakase don't seem to be much different. So I have no issues with the little copy of Asterisk on my desktop system... -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
