Currently I'm using the daily reboot script for asterisk and I was just wondering what the following line actually does: while /bin/ps ax | /bin/grep '[s]afe_asterisk' >/dev/null; do sleep 5; done
It is from this script which I'm running through crontab: /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "stop when convenient" while /bin/ps ax | /bin/grep '[s]afe_asterisk' >/dev/null; do sleep 5; done /sbin/rmmod wctdm /sbin/modprobe wctdm /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk Yes I understand that daily reboot is unnecessary but until I find the problem, this works for our needs. I'm wondering what that line does because last night when the Cron job started running, it kept running the job over and over until I got an out of memory error... as seen below: /var/log/messages Nov 9 04:15:32 localhost kernel: Registered tone zone 0 (United States / North$ Nov 9 04:18:00 localhost kernel: Freed a Wildcard Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Freshmaker version: 71 Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Freshmaker passed register test Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Module 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Module 2: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Module 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV E/$ Nov 9 04:18:02 localhost kernel: Registered tone zone 0 (United States / North$ Nov 9 07:07:12 localhost kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 11022 (sendmail$ Nov 9 07:08:57 localhost kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 2722 (sendmail).
