asterisk users - Dec 2005 - Running asterisk within screen

Hi!

I downloaded asterisk 1.2.0 and compiled it myself.
The default behaviour is that calling 'asterisk' will return the prompt
and calling 'asterisk -v' is returning the CLI.

I want to run asterisk within screen, however '/usr/bin/screen -L
/usr/sbin/asterisk -v' outputs:
[screen is terminating]
and I have no screen session running and I also have no asterisk CLI to
connect to.

I can't explain the behaviour and the screenlog is empty.


Does anybody know, why it is not possible, to run asterisk within
screen?
(or, at least, it's not possible at my computer).


Greetings,
Marcus

Yes, it is possible but you can't scroll up so you only see the last
~40 lines. At least I didn't work for me but I didn't research this
further.

I just run it as for testing purposes:
screen chroot /usr/local/asterisk /usr/sbin/asterisk -U asterisk -G
asterisk -g -vvvvv -n

Maybe you can get more details using strace:

  /usr/bin/screen -L strace -f -o /tmp/trace /usr/sbin/asterisk -v

permissions? If that is what you suspect, strace the whole screen
session.
