Okay, but that must be a very marginal machine or very poorly configured. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I've found this not to be the case. On slow machines, turning on lots of debug output can seriously affect call quality. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

For the newbies on the list... THIS IS THE WAY TO ASK A QUESTION. This shows forethought and a proof that Brent thought about the problem before askeing a question.

I also use this script in an init.d script to start asterisk as it restarts asterisk if it crashes. > screen -d -m asterisk -gnc > Just another way to start remotely? Used to use this, but I prefer the safe_asterisk method.

Call quality should always be equal. The only thing outside of opinion is that safe_asterisk handles crashes well. If it is the same as what I have been using, it even emails you when it crashes and tells you where the core is.

[Asterisk-Users] Starting up considerations.....
I know this has been covered before, but could someone please explain the benefits to starting asterisk various ways. I am partly posting this too, to see if my assumptions are correct. Is call quality affected by starting it differently? My belief is no. Regardless of how you start it, quality will be the same... Correct? So far, I have used: asterisk -vvvgnc If you are logged into a TTY on the physical machine, starting this way, is no problem. However, if you start Asterisk like this remotely, once the session is killed, the asterisk program dies. Makes sense... safe_asterisk Starting like this, will use the Asterisk startup script provided by the CVS, located in sbin. This is a good way to start remotely. No? screen -d -m asterisk -gnc Just another way to start remotely? So basically, they all do the same thing. Complexity is introduced only when you want to auto-start asterisk on bootup. You would want to use screen for this..? Any thing I have overlooked, please post to the list. All of the other posts right now all point to personal opinions as to which is best. Technically speaking though, from a call quality standpoint, there should be 0 difference? - Brent ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
