First, please do not group reply/reply all to this lists mail. I will get a copy nearly as fast through the list as I will to my own mailbox. Since I have all mail filtered to specific content based mailboxes your personal copy to me drops in my INBOX and not in the appropriate folder like the copy from the list does. I know some lists need you to do this because they do not set the reply-to address back to the list. This is one of the saner lists that does the right think in my opinion. Now to your problem. What command line are you using to launch asterisk? Sounds like you are using something like asterisk -vvv Try adding a c to the end so you get a command line at the end of start up. or just issue a asterisk -r to connect to the currently running copy. The device busy message is telling you a application is already running with access to those files. issue a ps -axuwww|grep [a]sterisk and see if it shows up. If you see any lines show up, it is already running and the asterisk -r will connect you to it. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
