[Asterisk-Users] stop asterisk when Idle

I still continue to reboot my asterisk box everyday.
I posted a message on November 22, but it was on another thread and no one
answered me, so I try again here,
where a lot of people told be I was a bad administrator ("Like a Windows
administrator" and I don'0t want to resolve my problem)
Actually I would like to resolve my problem, but I am not able to do this,
so I ask help to anybody who can help me, and repost my
last of 22/11/2005
In short, my problem is that, after one or two days of running, chan oh323
suddendly disappear from asterisk box, without giving any warning / error
In example, you type oh323 show stats at 11 o'clock , and get an answer
from asterisk, about usage of oh323
At 12, without doing anything to the box or to the asterisk, you type the
same command, and you get a "No such command 'oh323' (type 'help' for
help)
If you type help, no oh323 commands are available.
If you quit asterisk, (STOP NOW) and restart asterisk , no oh323 channel
command is available
if you reboot the machine everything is again fine !
It is so a crazy situation that to reboot appears (to me) the best thing (I
am sorry about this)
This is my previous post:
*******************************************
First of all, thank you for your answer, the only that does not claim to
not restart the box !
Asterisk is running on a Suse Linux 9.3 box,
kernel version is 2.6.11.4-21.9-smp
Asterisk is the last stable version via cvs, not cvs head
show version:
Asterisk CVS-v1-0-10/31/05-17:43:16 built by root at asterisk02 on a i686
running Linux
So it was the last stable version on 31 of October;
Also other components were taken via CVS;
cvs checkout -r v1-0 zaptel libpri asterisk asterisk-addons asterisk-sounds
about oh323, these are the instructions that I assembled and followed,
reading around;
cd /root
wget
http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/ian/projects/asterisk-oh323/Libraries/pwlib-Mimas_patch2-src-tar.gz
wget
http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/ian/projects/asterisk-oh323/Libraries/openh323-Mimas_patch2-src-tar.gz
cd /usr/src
wget

cd /root
tar zxvf pwlib-Mimas_patch2-src-tar.gz
tar zxvf openh323-Mimas_patch2-src-tar.gz
mv pwlib_Mimas_patch2 pwlib
mv openh323_Mimas_patch2 openh323
cd /usr/src
tar zxvf asterisk-oh323-0.6.7.tar.gz
PWLIBDIR=/root/pwlib
export PWLIBDIR
OPENH323DIR=/root/openh323
export OPENH323DIR
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWLIBDIR/lib:$OPENH323DIR/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
modify the file:
vi /etc/ld.so.conf
and add in it::
/root/pwlib/lib
/root/openh323/lib
then:
ldconfig
cd /root/pwlib
./configure && make clean && make opt && make install && ldconfig
cd /root/openh323
./configure && make clean && make opt && make install && ldconfig
cd /usr/src/asterisk-oh323-0.6.7
modify Makefile according to the directories:
vi /usr/src/asterisk-oh323-0.6.7/Makefile
PWLIBDIR=/root/pwlib
OPENH323DIR=/root/openh323
make && make install && ldconfig
chown /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/asterisk . -R
chgrp /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/asterisk . -R
chown asterisk /usr/local/lib -R
chgrp asterisk /usr/local/lib -R
chmod 777 /root
chown asterisk /root/pwlib -R
chgrp asterisk /root/pwlib -R
chown asterisk /root/openh323 -R
chgrp asterisk /root/openh323 -R
the only thing I am absolutely not hayy to did was that "chmod 777 /root";
I think that it should be not necessary at all, I did it becouse asterisk
run as "asterisk" user, and peraphs i thought some problems aboutr
accessing pwlib or oh323;
I have an heavily stressed system, but I have a couple of hours of almost
no traffic (people sleep sometimes...)
To shut down asterisk, killing a maximum 1 or 2 phones and than reboot (
only restart gracefully or now is not sufficient to re-live the oh323
channel)
is a bad thing, but is better than drop 5,000 phones 5 hours later.
Why not only reboot ? becouse if you shurdown asterisk BEFORE rebooting,
the cdr is updated correctly with the last phnes running.
I tried to reboot a box WITHOUT exiting from asterisk, and the running
conversetion (with more then 2000 billsec....) was not recorded in the cdr
I am using the g729 codec ( I bought a 30 channels license from Digium).
So, what to say... ah, you also need my oh323,conf file: here it is.

Of course, if it is possible to find a solution to the "oh323
disappearing", i will be the first to implement it ( and I will happyly
throw away the reboot workaround)
Moreover, in my conf file I have:
outboundMax=100
inboundMax=100
Could it be better to tune these values to 30 ? (the actual number of zap
channels); I cannot place more then 30 simultaneous calls.

What version of asterisk are you running, on what distro and what kernel?

But I found some situations that, after several millions of calls
seconds,
need to reboot the box and not only restart asterisk.
That's really not necessary,and it's almost painful to watch people do
this... If you posted some detailed information about your system and the
problem you are having maybe someone could help you fix the actual problem.
