similar to: Starting a process at a specified nice value.

By default asterisk (on my system) runs with NICE value "0" like most of the programs. Will the performance improve if I assign NICE value of let say -5 or -10 to asterisk? To my understanding it should as the priority will be higher than most other programs (it might even solve some echo problem). Am I right? How to start asterisk with priority let say -5? If I start the main process

Hi, for a job of lesser priority I would like to connect to a Samba server. When I'm doing a 'smbmount', enter the server by SSH, pgrep for the new smbd process and then renice it I have exactly the behaviour I desire. Now I would like to automate this and yet start the server process with lower priority. Connections to other clients shall not be touched at all. Are there any

Hi Henrik, Thanks for the detailed in fast reply! My guess would be that the confusion comes from the different use of nice and renice. The workraund you provided work fine! Thanks a lot.

Looks like a bug to me due to wrong assumptions about 'nice' arguments, but could be because a "non-standard" 'nice' is used. If we do: > trace(system, tracer = quote(print(command))) Tracing function "system" in package "base" we see that the system call used is: > cl <- parallel::makePSOCKcluster(2L, renice = 19) Tracing system(cmd, wait

Hi all, Is it possible to use the 'renice' option together with parallel clusters of type 'PSOCK'? The help page for parallel::makeCluster is not specific about which options are supported on which types and I am getting the following message when passing renice = 19 : > cl <- parallel::makeCluster(2, renice = 19) nice: ?+19?: No such file or directory Kind regards,

I have 4 gig in my * box. I'm tuning for performance and I'd like to ask opinions: 1. asterisk -p == renice -20 ?? 2. I've turned off swap with no apparent ill effects. Can anyone commment on long term effects with moderate load (say, 30 SIP phones / 2-3K calls /day) 3. Can anyone comment on using ramdisk as swap and whether this is a good idea or bad idea? I'm using 2.6

Hi, I have unpleasent short audio gaps when a perl based agi scripts starts. Thus, I now started to put all those things in C programmed daemons for fast-agi. Anyway I'm looking for another mean, which would help me more quickly. I noticed, that all agi scripts are running with system priority -11, like asterisk does. This is really waste of priority. I would like to have the AGI scripts

Is there any script guru on the list that can help me. I'm trying to start asterisk with nice -5. Normally the command would be: nice -5 asterisk but asterisk start from the scrip on Gentoo as -U asterisk -G asterisk Here is the script: =============== depend() { need net use zaptel } start() { local OPTS USER GROUP if [[ -n "${ASTERISK_NICE}" ]];

My imap processes seem to all be running with a nice value of -15 (top priority). Is this usual? Not sure if this is a dovecot setting or something going on with my own system configuration somewhere. I know the userdb query can set the nice value but mine (a mysql query) does not... We're having problems with our mail partition being absolutely thrashed and thought over-strong imap

Hi everyone! I was wondering... Does the musiconhold quality improve if the mpg123 processes run with a negative priority? If so, is there a way to make them start like that, so I don't have to renice them? Regards, Evert

I have had no success in getting the voicemail working on Asterisk 1.2.11 on CENTOS4(2.6 kernel) guest on vmware server 1.0.1. I tried with or without ztdummy device, renice -20 on asterisk process and even real-time priority on the host Windows XP box for the vmware process. I am running on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+. The behaviour is when the voicemail answer, the voice sound ok but when

Hi Everyone, I have group of R jobs that should be submitted to the condor when I submit the jobs to the condor, they don't run and when I checked the Sched Log files the jobs are exiting with status code 10. Previously, the jobs ran well on condor but now when I submit the jobs on condor they aren't running.Can anyone explain the meaning of this? Here is my submit file: # Submit file

Had a good question for the list, it seems whenever I work in an Asterisk console or on the machine normally I get jitters on any audio going through it. Especially if you did file copies or a 'ps ax' for example. I was wondering if there was a proper way to 'nice' the asterisk proc's? Cisco does this for example to it's "EXEC" and icmp processes, I tried

Hi all, Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including root) for every 90 days. I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires. The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root will it work? I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first? - The cronjob to renew

Hi, all. Last saturday, we've done a cutover for Samba 2.0.5a to be our new fileserver. All is going well, except for two network users that make me reboot the server. What happens is as follows: * user logs on onto samba server; * user opens and closes files, etc, OK until in one of these operations his/her machine hangs; * user reboots his/her machine to log on again. In this

Hi ? I put the rsync in cronjob but it won't work ? in root user cron ? */30? * * * *? /home/chloe/rsy.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 ? 1/ why it needs pw when I run this rsy.sh in root? but if I run it in chloe user, it doesn't need pw as I put authoized_key in remote host chloe ? 2/ why this root cronjob is not working? what wrong?

Sorry again for the only marginal relation to asterisk, but the issue does affect the voice performance I am experiencing, so I am soothing my guilt with that. Bet you don't see this every day: ast% uptime 13:48:08 up 981 days, 18:29, 1 user, load average: 1.08, 1.02, 1.01 ast% I *REALLY* want this machine to see 1000 days uptime, if for nothing other than bragging rights. Its been

Could anyone either recommend a website or howto on optimizing Linux to run asterisk. Such examples of what I mean are.. Renice of asterisk pid's Forcing irq smp_affinity (For interupt hogging T1 cards) .. That kind of stuff, I looked on the wiki and nothing directly mentions server optimization. Or, is this something that *should* be totally irrelevent when dealing with Asterisk. P.S. I
