[Asterisk-Users] stop asterisk when Idle

[asterisk at frameweb.it]

Thank you for your asnswer

I found that between 7 and 8 in the mornig I have a low load of my box.

I modify my script in this way:

asterisk02:/ # cat /closeasteriskandreboot.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo chiusura schedulata "when convenient" di asterisk
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "stop when convenient"

mypid=$(pidof asterisk)
echo "mypid=${mypid}"

while [ "${mypid}empty" != "empty" ] ; do
  echo "Il pid di asterisk esiste ancora ( = ${mypid} ) , aspetto altri 10
secondi"
# adesso dormo per dieci secondi per aspettare che asterisk chiuda tutto
bene
  sleep 10
  mypid=$(pidof asterisk)
  echo "mypid=${mypid}"
done

echo "Il pid di asterisk non esiste piu' , riavvio il pc"
echo reboot del server, ciao ciao
/sbin/reboot

exit

***************************
I think that it should be possible to reach a "convenient" (idle) time.
I could also implement a sort of "timeout" (if in half an hour asterisk is
still up, then send stop now command and then reboot)...

On the other side, I didn'i install any monitoring utility on my box (I
don't konw them) The bigger problem is that it is a productivity box, and
to do a lot of experiments is not so easy....

So I think that I will leave my box as it is now, and I will check in the
future if this strange oh323 problem will be found elsewhere and resolved.

thanks all,

Andrea

If you really need to have oh323, then you should test say every 5 minutes
or so, and then shutdown asterisk and reboot.

if asterisk -r -x "oh323"|grep help
then
  echo "oh323 missing"|mail administrator
  asterisk -r -x "stop now"
  reboot
fi

Ii is better to disconnect the existing users if they can not use the box
without oh323

Do you have some kind of monitoring running? Like Big Brother or nagios?
It might be interesting to see when oh323 dies.
Perhaps you could also use mrtg to graph usage levels to see if there is
some kind of correlation between usage and oh323 fatality
