Package: asterisk
Version: 1:13.1.0~dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when running /etc/init.d/asterisk restart in rapid succession, sometimes
I end up with no running asterisk at all.
The cause is this:
restart calls:
- stop, then start
stop calls:
- asterisk_rx 'core stop gracefully'
- start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo \
--exec $DAEMON --pidfile=$PIDFILE
at this point, asterisk is shutting down, but start-stop-daemon
hasn't confirmed that it is down yet.
start calls:
- status
and status happens to find the asterisk which is in <defunct> mode
while it is reaped by init,
at this point, "start" aborts, saying "asterisk is already running"
while asterisk is actually shutting down.
end result: no running asterisk.
The fix is this:
append the --retry argument to the start-stop-daemon call in stop,
like this:
- start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=8/TERM/30/KILL/5 \
--exec $DAEMON --pidfile=$PIDFILE
I took the liberty of changing around a bit more in /etc/init.d/asterisk,
resulting in the diff at the bottom of this report [1].
The other changes are:
- add the safe_status check as was mentioned in the TODO
- swap the order of safe vs. non-safe startup in "start" for clarity;
after all, there is a positive '= "yes"' check in "stop" too.
- add a bit of comments surrounding the "stop" parts.
I've created and tested these changed against my custom built 13.2 package
which is basically the debian/ dir from 1:13.1.0~dfsg-1. I suppose the
changes would work equally well on asterisk 1:11.x~dfsg.
Cheers,
Walter Doekes
