I have a small test system -- 6 phones. It is a dual processor server. I noticed that asterisk spawns 12 child processes. Can this be controlled? I would think 2-4 would be plenty for this test site.

[Asterisk-Users] x100p (FXO) not being seen by asterisk (is my best guess) .
Hello All , I installed a x100p clone device in a system .
I pulled (Wed, 26 Oct 2005 early am) cvs & compiled & installed for a
2.6 kernel . We call this system 'test' . This system is a HP Vectra
with a 933MHZ processor . Test has all the z* modules installed (*1).
and can see the x100p (ie *2) .
The other system has been operational for some time . I have a ata-186
responding to two numbers 21 & 22 . I attached a 6 line cord between
the ata-186 port 22 & the 'line' side of the x100p . I have
configured
the 3 necessary files (*3) . Now when I call 22 from an ipphone the
x100p does not pickup the line . All it does is ring .
I have to be missing something here . Tia , JimL
ps: Here is one problem I have yet been unable to resolv . I am unable to
move the x100p to some other IRQ & at present it is sharing irq 9 with
the SMBus . Anyone know how to work around this ?

On Linux 2.4 (without NPTL) you will see each thread as a separate process in the output of ps and top. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
Tzafrir, Thanks for the reply. This is a 2.6.13 kernel. Runs very well. It really is not hurting anything memory usage is ok and it is responsive. Just my old school resource attitude.
