[Asterisk-Users] asterisk console mode

[Doug Harris]

Hi folks,

I use safe asterisk to startup and run asterisk in the background. In
Safe_asterisk script, there is a parameter (right at the top ), CONSOLE
which I can set to no or something. If it is no asterisk startup as
asterisk -vvvg , if it is set to something the asterisk startup as
asterisk -vvvg -c.

Now I am running an agi script when calls get hung-up. That is in my
extensions.conf  I call myagi.agi  like  h,1, agi, myagi.agi.  When I have
asterisk started in console mode everything works fine, however if I
start -vvvg, soon after the agi completes asterisk shut it down.

== Spawn extension (fwd-out-test, 613, 3) exited non-zero on 'SIP/-081467b0'
    -- Executing AGI("SIP/-081467b0", "updatecb_post.agi") in new stack
    -- Launched AGI Script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/updatecb_post.agi
  == Spawn extension (fwd-out-test, h, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/-081467b0'

Any Idea why this is happening. ???  What are the pros and cons running
asterisk in console mode in safe asterisk ?

Cheers
