[Asterisk-Users] Extreme delay before * processes call files
Hi list! I'm using Asterisk 1.2.7.1. with FreePBX 2.0.1 on a CentOS 3.7 box. On the * box I also have a samba share where our CRM app can dump call files and a cron script is moving the call files every second to the asterisk directory. Everything goes really quickly, the call file is placed on the samba share and very quickly moved to the asterisk dir, so far so good. But then the call file just keeps sitting in the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing directory and it seems that * is doing nothing with it?? Only after 10-30 seconds sometimes even much longer the call file is picked up. There is no message on the * console about a call file being present. Does anyone have a clue why asterisk fails to pick up call files within a reasonable amount of time? The load on the box is 0.05 at most. Thanks!!

I'm not aware of any official way to schedule cron-jobs more than once per minute... and that would probably explain what you're seeing. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Only after 10-30 seconds sometimes even much longer the call file is picked up. Check if the system times are in sync; if you copy a file with samba, the timestamp on the file is set by the samba client (Windows?). If the client's time is in the future (compared to the * server time) the call file won't be run until the server time catches up. You can just have the server touch the call file before moving it to the spool directory; this will update the timestamp to the current time. Give it a shot.
