I'm running asterisk on a small box, Intel-R-_Atom-TM-_CPU_330_@_1.60GHz and on AMD 8-Core Server When asterisk runs for a week or so and I try to restart the asterisk it fails. /etc/init.d/asterisk restart * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Killing wrapper script ... [ ok ] * Stopping asterisk PBX gracefully ... * Waiting for asterisk to shutdown ............................................................. * Failed. When I run /etc/init.d/asterisk status I get: "* status: started" At this point I have to kill the process ID "zap" it (/etc/init.d/asterisk zap) and restart it. Why asteriks can not shut down properly? How can I monitor this process and restart it? Most of the time I can "stop, start and restart" asterisk without a problems it only happens when asterisk has been rinning for few days or a week.

What Asterisk branch is this please? 1.8, 10 or 11? What exact ebuild version did it come from? To confirm, your toolchain is not controversial and neither are your CFLAGS (I would recommend -O2 over -Os for nearly all use cases, but it should not cause breakage). I have the environment for your 8-core box now, with thanks, could I also see the Atom?
On Atom CPU and AMD-8 Core I'm using: asterisk- 1.8.15.1 I will chage the CFLAGS to -O2 on AMD but I doubt it will make any difference. Here is the environment from Atom CPU (CFLAGS is -O2).

I've asked the same question on Asterisk-user forum hoping to solve this problem and there is what somebody suggesed: ------quote----------- ebegin "Stopping asterisk PBX gracefully" /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "core stop gracefully" &>/dev/null # Now we have to wait until asterisk has _really_ stopped. As you can see, it is trying to execute "core stop gracefully". I don't know why it wont shutdown, or maybe it would but you can't wait till it happens, so I can't help in troubleshooting. But if you need a quick workaround to be able to shut down without killing process - change it to "core stop now". It should shut the Asterisk down immediately, dropping all active calls. ------end quote--------

These phone systems are used in environments where terminated calls result in loss of productivity and perhaps even reputation. What you need to find out is why your Asterisk gets stuck. Also, please try 1.8.18.0-r1 which is the new 1.8 stable candidate. A considerable amount of bugfixes has gone in since 1.8.15.1 and one of them may well have addressed this.

No, that wouldn't be the correct solution. On a small network office, this solution would be OK for me but not larger network with many users. I don't know how to test/troubleshoot why the Asterisk gets stuck. It only hapens when asterisk has been running for few days or so. So I don't know what command to use and what to test for. Asterisk-1.8.18.0-r1 is still mark unstable, but I'll install it soon.
Hi, Just to clarify and add my 5c worth. core stop gracefully is usually the correct solution, if it won't shut down it's probably a configuration issue, or potentially a stuck call (use core show channels concise to figure out which channel and hangup request to hang it up). It will also stop asterisk from accepting new calls - which may not be what some people want (at least not on a restart, on a shutdown you don't want new calls). core stop now will drop all calls immediately, which is obviously not what we want. core stop when convenient will not prevent new calls, and will wait for a period of inactivity to stop. Tony - we may want to make which of the three options we use configurable? I should be able to do that for you quite easily - defaulting to graceful. Then, also, it may be beneficial to have an explicit restart that issues "core restart {now|gracefull|when convenient}" as well ... but I don't see any real sense to this if the above is done. I typically issue 'asterisk -rx "core restart when convenient"' as root from the shell if I need a restart anyway, then sit in another asterisk CLI waiting for the restart to happen ... can sometimes be hours on some of our servers (in which case I just do watch 'asterisk -rnx "core show uptime"' and wait for the value to go smaller. (usually I just do this after 22:00 unless it's particularly urgent and then I'll use gracefully anyway, just take the reputation wrap and be done with it).
Thank you for the input Jaco; that is very informative. I'll keep an eye on my asterisk servers and report any finding in few days.
I know why is it doing it. I just run: asterisk -rx "core show channels" Channel Location State Application(Data) SIP/pstn-9998-000000 (None) Up AppDial((Outgoing Line)) SIP/pstn-4444-000000 7807080993@internal: Up Dial(SIP/77807080993@pstn-9998 2 active channels 1 active call 62 calls processed so my fax line appears UP (pstn-9998) and I don't know why. I called my fax line externally and it answers the call. How do I hang up the channel from command line?

I got the same situation today, it keeps showing one line is active even though nobody is using it. asterisk -rx "core show channels" Channel Location State Application(Data) SIP/pstn-4444-000000 (None) Up AppDial((Outgoing Line)) SIP/pstn-9998-000000 7807586576@internal: Up Dial(SIP/97807807586576@pstn-4 2 active channels 1 active call 77 calls processed How can I monitor it or prevent it?
Sounds like you need disconnect supervision on your analog line.
I believe this to be a lack of disconnect supervision on an analog telephone line. This is a configuration change that will need to be made on your end.
I'm not so sure this is related to disconnect supervision at all. What I have noticed that it only happens when aseriks made about 230+ call. If I restart asterisk before or every second or third day it is not occuring at all.
