Hello, In the last week I've been getting a lockup about every 2 days. during the lockup the people that are on the phone can keep talking, but noone can initiate any kind of call internal or external. I went into the manager interface and tried a Action: Hangup and Manager gave me a Success message back only to see that the Zap channel was still active in the "show channels" screen. When I eventually do a "stop now" it takes about 20 seconds before it finally stops and it says segmentation fault. then I start it back up and everything works fine. Does Asterisk need to be stopped and restarted regularly to not crash and freeze? Any ideas? I am using a CVS from October 1st and have the following config: Digium quad t1 card (400) P4 2.8GHZ, 2GB RAM, SCSI RAID RedHat 9 2 T1's hooked up 50 Grandstream phones set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, MATT---
It also happens to us every now and then. SIP is the cause. Zap and IAX2 continue to work fine but SIP dies. Sometimes * stops responding a few minutes after we restart it time and time again. It usually happens when a new subscriber is trying to make a call and due to his NAT or Firewall issue, the return SIP packets are not getting to him. Once we clear up the NAT issue then Asterisk behaves normally again. We have been unable to reproduce it consistently so we have not opened a bug tracket item yet.

Just today I did a "restart gracefully" no one was on the phone and it did not restart. The only command I could execute was exit, though I could always get back in doing "asterisk -vr". I finally had to run around and make sure everyone was off the phone then kill the asterisk process and restart it and it worked fine. During the kinda fake hang no new calls could be established, after I restarted asterisk it was fine. As far as do you have to reboot asterisk every so often, my answer is no. If you are experiencing (sp?) problems like that you have something screwey. While using the prototype TDM400P's I did have to reboot regularily, and if I have a TDM400P with bad modules in the asterisk server it causes considerable instability. Other than that I have never had to regularily reboot an asterisk server. The only reason they get restarted now is for hardware change reasons. I have one server up for about 2 months now without a single problem. Hope some of this info is helpful.
Have a quick question. In the following setup: PC w/ E100P running EuroISDN => IAX => PC w/ E100P running EuroISDN Calls come in on the first PC and are terminated out to the PSTN on the second. Do the ISDN cause codes get transferred correctly in this situation? I can't try this setup yet (still don't have the hardware), and have been trying to answer this question merely from the source code. So far, I have not been able to convince myself. Does anyone have definitive information on this? Thanks for any assistance, Chris Ziomkowski
