Greetings!! I found an issue here today with rc.updatenodelist for some reason their was multiple pids with multiple instances of this running on my server so here is what i did to fix this problem. in side /etc/asterisk/ folder i created a directory called scripts Example mkdir scripts then inside this directory i created a script called nodelistupdate.sh Example nano nodelistupdate.sh Once nano has opened up here is what i put inside the script. #!/bin/sh killall /usr/local/bin/rc.updatenodelist sleep 2s killall rc.updatenodelist sleep 4s /usr/local/bin/rc.updatenodelist ## Exit nano by ctrl x and saving changes with a y Next i updated crontab-e to point to my directory and location of my script */30 * * * * sh /etc/asterisk/scripts/nodelistupdate.sh This so far has worked for me and has decreased memory by almost half on my server.. I hope this helps some one out that is having issues with this process running away with its self 73's Have a Merry Christmas!!
