Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk stopped after Internet connection dropped ?! Asterisk 1.4.26.1
I am not sure why it would be sleeping. I have never dealt with putting a linux server to sleep. It is connected to a UPS, but I don't think it has been put to sleep by the UPS as the USB cable from UPS is not connected to it. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by AMI:Ping? Is there a service that you recommand that does this or are there any opensource monitoring tools out there that I can use? But my main question remains why there are no activities on 24th and 25th?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk stopped after Internet connection dropped ?! Asterisk 1.4.26.1
This was a static IP. Further checks into the server prevails that there are no logs of what happened on the 24th and 25th even in /var/log/messages. This makes me believe that a hardware lockup has happened and according to people on CentOS forum this is VERY HARD to diagnose as there will be no logs. Even MS Blue Screed Of Death does a better job of logging at instances like this :-( On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 10:13 PM, Lyle Giese l...@lcrcomputer.net wrote: Lyle Giese wrote: bruce bruce wrote: I am not sure why it would be sleeping.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk stopped after Internet connection dropped ?! Asterisk 1.4.26.1
Hi Everyone, This is probably more related to Linux than to Asterisk. Analogue channels on a system were un-responsive on Monday morning.
