I’m not sure what is happening but something appears to be amiss. Yes nodes3 has been down for a while but that shouldn’t break anything. <div><br></div><div><div><div>There are a few different versions of rc.updatenodlist out there. One version has a 2 hour sleep if no data is received repeatedly. Maybe that version is hitting nodes3 and giving up forever. I took that version and tweaked it a bit in an attempt to add diagnostics. It’s attached here. Unzip it, put it in your root directory and mark it executable. Do a killall rc.updatenodlist and then run this script. Report if you see anything interesting. Remember to reboot your node to start rc.updatenodelist when done. </div><div><br></div><div>You script monkeys may want to take a close look at the attached script. I suspect it has a bug as some of the if statements don’t make sense to me. And just maybe that’s the issue.</div><div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div apple-content-edited="true">

Also, ‘registration’ is when your node announces itself to the Allstar system. Your node is registered if it’s green on the nodes list. The process we are talking about here is the distribution of the Allstar directory, i.e. registered nodes and their IP address. <div><br style="orphans: auto; widows: auto;"></div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">--<br>Tim<br>:wq</div></span></span>

Tonight I had a user tell me that one of my nodes wouldn't connect
anywhere. Verified, rebooted the server, still nothing. Tried
running the rc.updatenodelist script manually and it just sits
there.<br>
<br>
However, after running the following command I do get an update and
can now connect to other nodes.<br>
<blockquote>
<pre wrap="">/usr/bin/wget -O /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl">http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl</a>
</pre>

When I checked two other nodes they had the same problem and same
work-around. <br>
<br>
I ran that same command for nodes2 and it works. When I run it for
nodes3 it times out.<br>
<br>
Could a problem with <a href="http://nodes3.allstarlink.org">nodes3.allstarlink.org</a> be causing the
rc.updatenodelist script to choke? And could that have been causing
my nodes to not be able to connect to others?<br>
