[asterisk-users] Strange Issue: asterisk deleted

[Antoine Megalla]

Hi,

I looked for asterisk in /usr/sbin using the commands ls and find and whereis and it was not there.

I know that the process is killed because when I start asterisk using the command asterisk -vvvvc it starts and then it exits and the word killed is wrote on the console.

Ever time I copy a new executable to /usr/sbin either using cp command or make install it gets deleted too.

Now I used the strace command on asterisk and I can clearly see at the end of the strace the line : killed by SIGKILL 
This means that something or someone is actually and purposely killing asterisk but I do not know what or who is doing that also I know that I am the only user on the system.

Again any indicators to solve this very weird issue are welcomed.

Regards,
Antoine Megalla
