Unfortunately, STDERR from AGI scripts does not make it to *’s log files. You can work around this by starting Asterisk under screen. Take a look at the AGI wiki under “CLI output” for more info. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI

 

Be warned though, that when you re-attach to Asterisk’s screen make sure you detatch the screen, and do not Ctrl-C or exit the asterisk console as that will shutdown asterisk.

Hi,

 Thanks for your reply. Dont the messages logged in /var/log/asterisk/messages contain error messages also dumped in tty9.
 If not how can I view the messages on the tty9 console, The problem is the server is hosted remotely and all I have is ssh access.
Shutting down asterisk might not be an option, especially since I dont know how to reproduce the problem, it just happens sporadically.

Danish

STDERR from your agi will be shown on asterisk's tty. If you're using safe-asterisk to start, I believe this is redirected to tty9… Or, if you can afford to take asterisk down momentarily, you could just start asterisk without backgrounding it and you'll see what your script has to say there.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] how to identify agi crash cause

 

Hi,

 I have a custom agi which at times does not exit gracefull and crashes in between. The logging options are set to the maximum but I dont see something conclusive in the asterisk log.
I have noticed it crash after issuing the "SAY NUMBER" and "GET DATA" agi commands and the agi is spawned with no apparent reason after that. I tried running the application locally and debugged but could not reproduce the problem.

 I also tried enabling core file generation by specifying the following command in /etc/profile "ulimit -c unlimited > /dev/null 2>&1" but to no avail, I did not get any core file in /tmp or other locations. Can any one suggest a way to get a core dump of crashing agi's or some other way I can isolate the problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Danish
