[asterisk-dev] my Asterisk is missing time...

[Wolfgang Pichler]

I do now run asterisk as root with nice -10 - i will see today if it helps.

The machine does also run lighttpd and mysql for the web frontend for the agents... But average load isn't that much so that 2 minutes missing could be caused. Also zttool is repeating no missed interupt...

Digium Support did suggested running a pattern test with a loop cable - i will do this as soon as possible (the machine is located in FL - and i am in AT 600km away ;-( )

regards,
Wolfgang Pichler

Executing Asterisk as root. You can still ask Asterisk to run as a user
(-U, or the equivalent setting in asterisk.conf).

It depends what else that machine does. If it does something else which
is potentially CPU-bound and well-distributed (mysql?), you may still
get spikes, occasionally.
