[asterisk-users] Fwd: Re: Asterisk CLI unresponsive

Try  asterisk -rnx "show locks" > /locks.txt

If that does not work than your CLI process is completely gone and you are 
done. I have bumped into these kind of CLI locks and it really sucks. I 
have written a program to monitor for them and kill the asterisk process if 
they occur then asterisk_safe will automatically start a new instance. It 
does not happen for me very often may be once ever six month or so but on 
production boxes a 30 sec outage is better than a long term lockup. 

I am on an asterisk 1.8.x box (not current trunk yet)  I had a lot more 
issues with this when running 1.6.2.xx so I moved and most issues resolved 
but every now and then it will happen. I have 20+ installed instances and 
all but one has been moved to 1.8.x or higher.

Thanks

Paul,

if the CLI is unresponsive, how can I show you the output of "show locks" 
?

Thanks.
Jonas.
