<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I agree, but what is odd is that
technically the same init script should be used in both cases, since heartbeat initially
starts asterisk with the service start command, and service restart asterisk is
used to restart it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>perhaps safe_asterisk is restarting
asterisk after the stop portion of the restart and before the start portion?
and perhaps when this happens is when I get the "exited on signal 9",
because the ports are already in use as the result of the safe_asterisk
recovery, so service asterisk start (the other half of restart) fails?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>any ideas on how to modify
safe_asterisk to have the same console parameters as asterisk?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Just a wild guess, but your “service” probably runs two “flavors”
of asterisk. Flavor 1 is /usr/sbin/asterisk (executable) which
provides a console as you expect. Flavor 2 is /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
(shell-bash) which turns off the console color.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hoping someone can help me understand what is happening
here;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>we start asterisk as a service at boot (actually, with
heartbeat) on CentOS using the asterisk init script installed with "make
config"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>upon reboot of the server (when the asterisk service is
first started by heartbeat) we get color in the console when we connect to it
using asterisk -r<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>after the execution of '#service asterisk restart' we no
longer have color in the console<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>this appear to be the case in all versions tested (1.2, 1.4,
and 1,6)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>additionally, when executing the restart of the service we
get a message that asterisk exited on signal 9, but I have not been able to
find a definition for signal 9. I assume this is normal because we force an
unconditional restart.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>we do the restart periodically due to some processes that
don't always clean up after themselves, and the fact that a reload does not
clean them up either (zombie channels, zombie manager connections). these are
very heavily loaded servers, and the idea that a full restart should never be
needed has been proven inaccurate over several years of experience :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I do not think this is heartbeat related, but just in case,
here are the heartbeat details;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>these are heartbeat version 1 clusters<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>the asterisk init script that is used is derived from
"make config"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>we chkconfig --add asterisk, then chkconfig asterisk off (heartbeat
starts it)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>we then define the asterisk service as a heartbeat managed
resource<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>about once a month we issue a "service asterisk
restart" via a cron job, and this is where we lose the color.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
