asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Asterisk Restart after crash

Could you give some more information on where to remove 'daemon' and the
effects?
Since all our productionservers running FC2 I'm a bit concerned.

Thanks a lot

In your asterisk script in init.d that calls safe_asterisk change this:

start() {
        # Start daemons.
        echo -n $"Starting asterisk: "
        if [ -f $SAFE_ASTERISK ] ; then
                DAEMON=$SAFE_ASTERISK
        fi
        if [ $AST_USER ] ; then
                ASTARGS="-U $AST_USER"
        fi
        if [ $AST_GROUP ] ; then
                ASTARGS="`echo $ASTARGS` -G $AST_GROUP"
        fi
-->        daemon $DAEMON $ASTARGS    <----
        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/asterisk
        echo
        return $RETVAL
}

to this:

start() {
        # Start daemons.
        echo -n $"Starting asterisk: "
        if [ -f $SAFE_ASTERISK ] ; then
                DAEMON=$SAFE_ASTERISK
        fi
        if [ $AST_USER ] ; then
                ASTARGS="-U $AST_USER"
        fi
        if [ $AST_GROUP ] ; then
                ASTARGS="`echo $ASTARGS` -G $AST_GROUP"
        fi
        $DAEMON $ASTARGS
        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/asterisk
        echo
        return $RETVAL
}

ie remove 'daemon' from the command.

Test it by kill -9 asterisk pid and see if it restarts - it is quite
aggressive.

After applying the change to the init script, it seems to restart the
asterisk processes which get killed, but do you have a functional system
with this?
Our Testsystem spits out some '100% CPU-Loaded mpg123 processes' and
asterisk was somehow dead.
Did I miss something?

Yeah, really aggressive ;-)
