I have an Asterisk 13 that only processes app Transfer with PJSIP, to the tune of 60 per second. No voice calls. After like 2 hours, I can no longer get into Asterisk. This command, asterisk -r, fails, and also "asterisk -rx core show channels", etc. I am returned to the bash prompt. I checked the handles and lsof | grep asterisk |wc -l 7098126 I think there is a kind of handle leak here. Nothing else runs in the box If there is a way to find out what happens, let me know. The dialplan is confidential, for it belongs to my customer,but I can give you access to the box. In short , the app receives a call, checks the number against a database and calls app_transfer. That is it. This is what I see when the command fails: asterisk -r Asterisk SVN-branch-13-r431555M, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2014, Digium, Inc. and others.

It is definitely PJSIP, for I replaced the dialplan with plain SIP, and there is no issue, ceteris paribus. Note: I am not a developer and have no idea how to troubleshoot this. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
