similar to: Asterisk CPU priorities (nice?)

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

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 all, I have a question that I was hoping someone could answer for me. I would like to find a USB phone that works with Asterisk... preferably one that does not have any issues with NAT. Can anyone point me to something suitable ? We are essentially planning to do a beta for a few hundred customers on our network and would like them to be able to call one another @ no charge. Because

Anyway, I figured it out. The extension was working, but Background() ignores the tones A through D by default. I didn't

I wonder if someone could point me to the appropriate docs for my question? If I would like to cause my system to always start 'smbd' processes at priority 7 for example, how would I go about doing that. I'm assuming there's a better way than running a cronjob every minute to renice existing processes. I'd appreciate some help pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

Redhat 9 is running 100% cpu usage. I had a couple boxes doing this. upgraded to Fedora and its ok.

Hello, I use Asterisk 1.0.2 on a RedHat Enterprise Server 3.0 (Kernel 2.4.21) and i experienced that the memory consumption of the asterisk-process started by the init.d-script raises continously. Now, after 3 hours of operation (on our testing-system we have 30 concurrent connections to another asterisk box using IAX2 and GSM codec) there is already 66MB allocated. I think this could be ok, but

At time to time somebody is trying "their luck" and send me most likely a junk fax on my voice line. During normal working hours is not a problem I just pickup the line and hangup the call but after-hours my voice mailbox is intercepting the call and recording those "beeps" (waisting my CPU cycles). Is there a way to block call / issue hangup command if the incoming call is a

Hi Jean-Marc, thanks for the response. First, I will clarify again that floating-point solves this - so isn't that a bug in fixed-point? Also, I understand that algorithmically the AEC won't cancel echo properly on a non-linear signal, but why completely distort the output? If the echo just won't get cancelled it would be acceptable, but in the current state it disables the ability to

Hi everyone, This is off topic and is for GS technical support really but it seems that there are a lot of Budge Tone 100/101/102 users out there. I've got a Budge Tone-100 (101 - without the extra 10base ethernet connetion?) here. I changed the configuration through its web based interface and I clicked the reboot link. But then something went wrong and ever since then it doesn't

For an office that is using VoIP phones to connect to Asterisk, is gigabit ethernet really necessary for the Asterisk box to connect to the switch? I know that I won't even approach the limits of 100 Mbps, but would gigabit help with latency / collisions when several calls are underway? The fact is, anything going outside the office will be over a data T1, so intuition tells me that 100

Hi, I couldn't find a discussion that specifically addresses this, so here it is. I'm using Speex AEC in my mobile VoIP application to cancel speaker echo. The used version is 1.2rc1 from the website, and I'm compiling with fixed-point. On most occasions, the AEC works very well and cancels most of the echo (combined with the preprocessor). On some devices, where the microphone signal

Hi all, How do I add an asterisk representing a significant difference to a barplot? Cheers, Gil [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

from voip-info wiki Asterisk automatic daily restart To automatically restart Asterisk you can add something like this to cron # Restart Asterisk PBX once a day to prevent any problems from piling up 10 7 * * * root /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "restart now" >/dev/null 2>&1 or 10 7 * * * root /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "restart gracefully" >/dev/null 2>&1

Folks: I'd like to install Asterisk for use in my home. However, I'd like to continue using wireless phones in a couple of locations. The cheapest way to do this is to continue to use analog phone devices via an FXO/FXS box. However, I am not clear on whether I can expect these devices to provide "call waiting" features and caller ID features to the connected analog phone.

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
