[Asterisk-Users] Death at 2am

[Chris Hastie]

Hello

I've just installed Asterisk 1.2 onto a FreeBSD system and it is mostly 
working well.

But it dies at 2am every morning. Not quite a complete death, but it 
seems to loose any ability to communicate with the rest of the world. In 
/var/log/messages I just see endless entries like this:

Nov 21 02:00:13 WARNING[18841] chan_sip.c: No such host: voipfone.co.uk
Nov 21 02:00:13 WARNING[18841] chan_sip.c: Probably a DNS error for registration to 30113205 at voipfone.co.uk, trying
REGISTER again (after 20 seconds)

An attempt to connect to the console leaves asterisk eating up CPU 
cycles and this in /var/log/messages

Nov 20 11:51:25 WARNING[94218] asterisk.c: Accept returned -1: Too many open files

A message which reoccurs several hundred times a second.

Can anyone either solve this problem for me completely, or at least give 
me a hint as to the significance of 02:00? Is this an Asterisk thing 
(most of my configurations are as per install samples), or an underlying 
OS thing?

Thanks
