This will sound weird but the command 'asterisk -r -x reload' fails to work when issued by Cron. But it works when I issue it from a bash session. What is not configured correctly? I need to refresh the configuration every a short amount of time. rom root@localhost.localdomain Wed Jun 15 18:42:00 2005 Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 18:42:00 -0400 From: root@localhost.localdomain (Cron Daemon) To: root@localhost.localdomain Subject: Cron <root@ashish> asterisk -r -x reload X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> /bin/sh: line 1: asterisk: command not found Any ideas?

The cron environment is not like a standard shell in all respects. Chris
i think that is because asterisk is intstalled in /usr/sbin/ and you dont have that un your PATH env variable for cron. best regards On 6/15/05, Federico Alves <sales@minixel.com> wrote:> This will sound weird but the command 'asterisk -r -x reload' fails to work > when issued by Cron.

Does anyone know of a E911 interface I can get? Regards, Chris
Heres what I use; I have asterisk restart if the net is down and once a
day just before 7am:
crontab -e:
55 6 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "restart gracefully" >/dev/null
2>&1
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /root/scripts/check_net
/root/check_net
#!/usr/bin/perl
$net=`/bin/ping -c 02 google.com 2>&1 | /bin/grep -c 'unknown
host'`;
if ($net==1) {
print `/bin/date`;
print `/usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "restart gracefully"`;
}

You could do something like: /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x reload | egrep -v '^(Core debug|Verbosity) is at least [0-9]+' (Which is basically what I currentlly use in the wrapper for asterisk -rx on Rapid) But then the return status will be the return status of grep, which is not exactly what you want. cron will always send an email: if there is output: to give you the output. If there is no output: grep returns 1. For the record, the current init.d script on Debian simply runs "$DAEMON -rx 'reload'" on the command 'reload' Any ideas? -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
