allmon and allmon2 will cause an issue. if you do not use them you will not
have the problem steve. it can be made to cause a crash every time
when used.

this is why i have taken the remote base node off the allmon2 page's
on dial. and will have to do the same for the acid build also.

i am working with dial to make the migration to new
hardware sooner or later.

I don't have any stability issues with the 706 and the basic rpt remote base code.
I don't need hamlib. Admittedly, I don't use Aallmon in it. I'll have to try it.

YMMV

Hi Ken,

Interesting that having allmon2 probe the RB stats causes a Asterisk
crash...Back in yesteryear I tried to run a 706mkiig RB using the built-in
code and never had good results--YES, it did work. But, Asterisk wasn't
stable very long, frequently crashing several times a day, depending on
use. Various serial communications issues with the radio would
-sporadically- "knock it for a loop" too. I concluded that their was
probably memory getting clobbered somewhere.

If I disabled the RB command support, the Asterisk stability
skyrocketed--uptimes now measured in weeks, months or longer. As an
example, here are the stats from one of my RB systems now:

TX time today....................................: 01:12:27.95
TX time since system initialization..............: 87:37:42.861
Uptime...........................................: 1336:34:22

It has been up 55 days without any issues....And, as you can see, it gets
used--But, I now use hamlib for all RB commands.

the crash is caused when accessing the the remote base node
using the asterisk manager interface via allmon2

Ken,
I now better understand. I'll work on something that will solve the
restart from crash.
I will also look into what is causing the crash since I also have a
706 as a remote base.

Thanks, Steve

hi steve

the main issue steve is not the fact that
service asterisk restart does not work.

but the main issue is that if asterisk crashes for any reason
it will not restart itself. because of this i also can not use
cop,1 cop command which is asterisk restart.

cop,1 will cause asterisk to exit for restart but asterisk will
not restart via a watchdog script.

safe_asterisk used to do this very nicely but it has been eliminated.
and you only use the asterisk service script under systemd.

yes the version of the asterisk service script i have here from the
dial build from about 4 to 5 weeks ago the
service asterisk restart does not work.

it force's me to use service asterisk stop to remove the
asterisk.ctl file from the /var/run and the
the service asterisk start will then work allowing asterisk
to be restarted proprely.

I also have a node setup for remote base mode using an
ic-706mkiig and sometimes that will cause a crash with it.
when asterisk is accessed via an allmon2 dashboard.

I have had to take the remote base node off of the
allmon2 page to stop this crashing.

it will do it every time too.
that is something with the old remote base code
with in app_rpt.c too which has never been fixed.

this is why the asterisk auto restart on crash would be very nice

where can i find a new or updated asterisk service script.

can i get it from the rpi2 dial image and put in the
dial x86 build with out having to re-install
dial x86 image?

otherwise for the most part asterisk under dial has been
fairly stable. but i can make it crash under certain conditions
which i try to avoid. like using allmon2 to access
the remote base node via the asterisk manager
interface.

Ken,
As I posted below I could not recreate your issue. is there anything

I download the dial release and installed it just after is first
came out
that was about 4 weeks ago.

now if asterisk crash for any reason or if you use the cop,1 cop
command
it will not restart is self at all. you have to go into an ssh
shell and issue a
service asterisk stop then a service asterisk start.

the service asterisk restart does not work for me on the x86 release.

there seems to be no way for asterisk to restart itself after a crash
or after using the cop,1 cop command.

has there been any updates to the asterisk service command
for systemd to fix this?

I have been evaluating Dial on a Linux PC
Observations
1. When asterisk crashes, there is no restart or watchdog
2.this makes debugging very difficult
3.asterisk service mode restart does not seem to work
4. in this mode remote SSH to restart is not possible
Do you have any fixes planned?
Thanks
