[asterisk-users] console color

[Damon Estep]

Hoping someone can help me understand what is happening here;

 

we start asterisk as a service at boot (actually, with heartbeat) on
CentOS using the asterisk init script installed with "make config"

upon reboot of the server (when the asterisk service is first started by
heartbeat) we get color in the console when we connect to it using
asterisk -r

after the execution of '#service asterisk restart' we no longer have
color in the console

 

this appear to be the case in all versions tested (1.2, 1.4, and 1,6)

 

additionally, when executing the restart of the service we get a message
that asterisk exited on signal 9, but I have not been able to find a
definition for signal 9. I assume this is normal because we force an
unconditional restart.

 

we do the restart periodically due to some processes that don't always
clean up after themselves, and the fact that a reload does not clean
them up either (zombie channels, zombie manager connections). these are
very heavily loaded servers, and the idea that a full restart should
never be needed has been proven inaccurate over several years of
experience :)

 

I do not think this is heartbeat related, but just in case, here are the
heartbeat details;

 

these are heartbeat version 1 clusters

the asterisk init script that is used is derived from "make config"

we chkconfig --add asterisk, then chkconfig asterisk off (heartbeat
starts it)

we then define the asterisk service as a heartbeat managed resource

about once a month we issue a "service asterisk restart" via a cron job,
and this is where we lose the color.

 

Thanks!
