Hi all, it might be completely unrelated, but it reminds me at an issue that only occured many years ago only on 32bit Geode boxes (Alix/net5501) after we integrated Monit into AstLinux. On these boxes all RAM was eaten up slowly and then these boxes locked up after a few days. That's why we didn't installed Monit for these build types.
To figure it out I then created a cronjob that logged uptime, RAM and used Asterisk channels into a logfile every 10 minutes. > Am 16.09.2020 um 15:07 schrieb Lonnie Abelbeck <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com>: > > Hi Daryl, > > Has the AstLinux version changed in the last couple weeks ? > > What version are you running ? > > Lonnie > > > >> On Sep 16, 2020, at 8:01 AM, Daryl Richards via Astlinux-users >> <astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: >> >> This is good timing (in a bad way..)
