[Asterisk-Dev] EAGI : Pipe saturation

[Areski]

Strange what you said ! That means that the fork is always failing in my
*. I tested on two different computer and on the first, I lose 16 pipes
for each EAGI executed and on the second I lose 17 pipes.
Is this problem happens to all ? 
Below a part of my extensions.conf

exten => 1879,1,Answer
exten => 1879,2,Wait(2)
exten => 1879,3,eagi,DialAnMp3.agi
exten => 1879,4,Hangup

if you check the number of pipe before and after the execution, you will
see that a fews pipes aren't closed (only with eagi)...
/usr/sbin/lsof -Rl|grep asterisk|grep pipe|wc -l


So after a big amount of call, Asterisk cannot open new pipes because
all has been used.


Perhaps someone can pointed out which ones aren't closed!
Thanks for your help,
el kiki
