So you have 167 channels. There's a thread for each, with stack and all. It's an old install -- 1.2.7.1, but it has custom code that needs to be updated before moving to a more recent release. I'm assuming that 100mb is indicative of a memory leak (probably in my code). I'm not sure. It doesn't even mean the kernel has allocated those 100MB to Asterisk. Recall that a memory block is only allocated on first use. And Asterisk tends to allocate lots of memory. Not all of it is actually used. How can I get a dump (preferably without disrupting production) so I can poke around in it (using gdb) and what's a good strategy for finding memory leaks? The best way is to rebuild Asterisk with memory allocation debugging. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Thanks in advance, I think, there's no way you can get a coredump without interrupting process. However you can do killall -5 asterisk. That would send a Trace/Breakpoint signal to asterisk and it would crash immediately to core - so you can play with it in gdb. Regards, Atis -- Atis Lezdins VoIP Developer, IQ Labs Inc.
