Is there anything mongrel cluster gives you that monit doesn''t? I''ll be using monit to monitor a number of other services anyways, so it seems logical to just use it for everything including mongrel. Chris

Has anyone used Gastman/Astman successfully? I have it up and running (Gastman win32), but have a problem with the creation of end stations on the map. I'm not sure of the format of the extension to use when creating a end station icon. Services like Conference bridge and Musichonhold seem to work ok (I use 555@mainmenu and 666@mainmenu) for the Icon extensions. IAX softphone seems to work

I'm sure dumb when it comes to describing things that happen on my system. I'm making an outbound call on my ATA186 when another call comes in. I first get the nasty CID screech and then the periodic call-waiting tone. So far, so good. Then I hookflash, and just like it's supposed to, the waiting caller is on the line. But during the duration of that conversation, my console

Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service. A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling: [wash at nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23

I was wondering if anything in wine could crash the system? I believe not, but I have this problem since I upgraded to kernel 2.4.3: I am running winamp through wine and usually within one song, the system freezes. At first I suspected my X server (not sure wether AGP is enabled or not) so I ran wine/winamp on my machine and displayed on a windows box using xwin32. I had X locally shut down. The

Hi - I tried to get Daemontools and Unicorn working together a while back - there are issues on USR2 restart because of the pid change - I''m hoping someone in the community will have some understanding of this issue I documented my experience and eventual defeat here : http://log.robotarmyma.de/post/2053448029/daemontools-ubuntu-rvm-bundler-unicorn-install Any help would be received

Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run? Thanks! --------------------------------- Pinpoint customers who are looking for

So I got my UPS working. I'm trying to get NUT to run under daemontools . upsd and upsmon all seem to stay in the foreground when I add -D to them but upsdrvctl doesn't. Does anyone know if there's a hidden switch or something to make it stay in the foreground? The reason I want to use daemontools is so that if the process crashes, daemontools will just start it right back up

Hi I've recently released the daemontools scripts I use to run both Asterisk and Flash Operator Panel, and a macro to tell whether today is a holiday or not and jump to different dialplan places accordingly. They are here: daemontools scripts: http://www.bisente.com/blog/2007/04/27/spanish-asterisk-y-daemontools-spanishenglish-asterisk-and-daemontools-english/?lan=english is-holiday macro:

Dear All, I have a requirement to 'originate' a number of calls to various external users from within a conference room, so that the end users does not pay for the call. I know that within Astman I can define an extension and then originate the call from that extension. Can I define a conference room (how would I configure that on astman? What channel would it use?) and then generate a

I have been testing Gastman and Astman with SIP calls. As I have no Zap phones, so I have a few question on what is normal behavior? When a call comes in and I have created extensions for all phones (example: Channel = "SIP\3846") Should the little lines connect between the pre-made extension or should they pop up temporary icons with no connection to the hand made extensions? The

?Hi, I was wondering if anyone has managed to get the preload_app and SIGUSR2 combination working well with upstart? My issue currently is that when I perform a SIGUSR2 against the master, check everything''s working and close off the old master, upstart then attempts to restart it because the original PID/binary are no longer running. What is the correct way of handling this? In my

Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to

I have a problem that sometimes lines will go into what I call never never land. The Asterisk system will put a line with <Zombi> on it when you type show channels it will make the analog phone line dead. And on the CLI it says: astsvr*CLI>Zap/1-2<ZOMBIE>(macro-twoline-exten,s,1)Up Dial Zap/1-2|20|r I have tried to release it with soft hangup Zap/1 & also soft hangup

Hi all, I'm trying to use daemontools to manage the icecast server. I've got it installed and working (with qmail) However it wont work with icecast.

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/
