Hi,

I'm having high load, choppy sound and slow responsives with an asterisk server 
(version 1.2.12.1) that make a peak of 90 channels (around 60 phones calling at 
max, isn't necessary to reach this peak to get the problem). All the traffic is 
SIP, with recording for every call. The server has:

Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz (with HyperThreading disabled for inestability)
4G RAM
2 DD SCSI 150GB in RAID I via hardware.

The problems are detected in the high count of asterisk processes and sh 
wrappers to soxmix which could be as old as 1 hour in the server without a 
reason to stay idle, but for some unknow reason this "sh" don't die fast. This 
is when the dialplan calls Monitor obviously. I already tried to switch to 
MixMonitor but yesterday users reported that in some calls the recording isn't 
complete. Which is similar to a bug that is mentioned in mantis but for 
versions prior to 1.2.7. The asterisk logs don't show any particular message in 
verbose level 3. Apart from the recording, I have a high use of Manager and the 
mysql is used for some bussines logic but I think that nothing to high load, 
indeed mysql never is the most important part in processor, memmory and disk 
access statistics.

In http://linuxuanl.org/eald/random/ps.txt there is an example (no very 
espectacular but is more or less what happens) of the status of the computer 
with problems. I see that there are many sh without their soxmix or rm; Usually 
this is done faster indeed I changed soxmix to a script that only copy the 
files in an attempt to low the load of the server. 

Any knows a solution to this problem? or has an explanation for it?

Thanks,
Edgar Luna
